Blue Screen of Death

:omg:

Flashing Chip....

Followed instructions installing burner drivers and everything looked fine.

THen blues screen with an error in the Slabser.sys I had to ok a
driver with that in it if I remember correctly. Did it twice on different USB ports.

Checked for BIOS update with no luck. Said I may need to turn off bios shadowing or cacheing.

BTW...its a 4 year old Dell Inspiron 9100 with XP. Any ideas?


Thanks!

Uh oh... That's not good. In 4 years, I can't recall anyone ever getting the BSOD with those drivers.

At this point are you able to plug the unit in without the computer crashing, or does it crash as soon as the USB is plugged in? We might need to completely remove the drivers and reinstall them.

This is probably best handled by phone so let me know when would be a good time.

FWIW - I've used Dells exclusively for the last 5 years with both XP and now Vista and I have never had any problems so I doubt the issue is with the computer itself. It's probably something small and should be easy to fix.

Kind of reminds me of when I got a BSOD updating the firmware and version on what was then my Edge (now a Gryphon). Interestingly, my PC is also a Dell - an XPS 410 running XP.

I simply started over, after rebooting, and everything was fine. But, I had my "heart in my mouth", worrying if I had "toasted" the Edge.

BSODs are so rare now, we've almost forgotten what they look like.

Honestly, can't remember the last time I saw one either. In fact, how's this for cool?

That was the last time I rebooted the server, and that was only because I moved it.

OK.....I can plug in the burner to the computer and energize it, flashes lights properly then it BSOD'd when I was moving the mouse to click the program button. Did it twice on different USB ports. This was a couple days ago.


Last night I tried again after Updating windows, was working fine, erased the chip and got the 1st position programed then BSOD.


I'll call again next week when I have a chance and Bill's not busy.

I gotta say, Man I love computers
Using a different type of mouse can interfere with program drivers?
Thank you Mr. Gates
