Computer Randomly BSOD's on Startup
« on: July 02, 2011, 01:43:22 PM »
This has been going on for months now. It can occur days or months apart. Randomly I will attempt to turn on my computer and there's a BSOD before it can start up. I always have to use startup repair in order to get it working again. When I decide not to choose system restore and allow startup repair to fix the issue it always tells me that the only problem was one unknown bug in C:/Windows and that it was fixed using a Windows file stability check (or something like that.)

I run Windows Vista With:
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q8200 @2.33GHz 2.34GHz
8.00 GB RAM
64-bit

A full scan with Avast! and a quick scan with Malwarebytes came up empty (both were performed today with up-to-date definition.)

Reliability and Performance Monitor has this code for the last crash recorded (6/28/2011):
Failure Type: OS Stopped Working
Version: 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2
Failure Detail: 0x00000001
                (0x00000000773c6cba,
                0x0000000000000000,
                0x000000000
Failure Type: Boot Failure
Version: 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2
Failure Detail: 0x1

I've performed diagnostics on both my memory and hard drive and found no error. I am extremely confused because no matter where I ask I never get an answers. I decided not to post this is the virus and worms category because I have no real proof it is malware (I started a thread up about this a few months ago and got no answers then either.) Any help is, of course, appreciated.

Run this utility, it will give you a bit more info on your BSOD and might point you to the culprit.
