Let me just start out by saying, i have become very familiar with Vista’s “system restore” feature.
Well, for christmas my father got me a Sansa Clip. It’s a very tiny mp3 player, made by… Sansa. Anyways, installed the driver, etc. After about a 3 weeks, the computer stopped recognizing the player when i’d plug it in. right before the first “crash” i plugged in the player and a small alert on the task bar read, “driver software did not install properly.” this struck me as odd given i had been successfully using the player for a few weeks.
Okay hold on. Back to the beginning:
Bought my HP Pavillion a6500f in last july. In November Windows Update installed a “motherboard” update. During this process the PC froze and never recovered (meaning, it wouldn’t restart at ALL) . When i attempted to restart the computer, i never ever got the first screen (featuring the bios menu, system recovery, etc.) . restart was nonexistent.
sent it away on warranty, the PC returned needing to be restored. that went well and that brings us to now.
So, like i was saying, “alert” . I don’t recall how the first crash occured, but i ended up just going through system restore. That occured twice and i don’t remember the exact events that transpired. But, i do remember: last week, after the second restore, windows update bombarded the PC with all the updates that had occured the past year, been wiped out, and reinstalled. it said i had to restart the PC to finish the updates. I did, and the screen read “update 1 of 3, 0% complete.” The computer sat like this for atleast 15 minutes, then a blue screen appeared. It said it was going through something called a “mini-dump” . This has happened twice in seven days. Both times (thank god) the start-up menu has “recommend[ed] opening system restore” and that has “fixed” the problem.
but like i said, twice in 7 sevens. SOMEONE PLEASE, wtf is wrong with my computer?
