4 BSOD in one day. HELP!

My Acer is have major problems. Yesterday I had four bsod. Each time it said either "Dumping Physical Memory" or "Kernel Stack In-Page Error". Each time when it restarted it would say "Fixed Disk Error". After 5 minutes it would work again. Then about 2 hours later I would get the BSOD. I ran multiple spy ware and anti-virus. Nothing popped up. I did a check disk in command prompt and it came back with 32kb of bad sectors. I don't think that much makes a difference, but who knows? Does anyone have any ideas? Lastly, does anyone know of a good online diagnostic program?

 

its a small size of bad sectors but its significance depends on where the sectors are. perhaps the error arises as windows attempts to use that area.

 

I have no idea where the errors are coming from. Is it my ram or my hard disk or a malicious program. I highly doubt it's the third, but at this point I don't know.

 

fixed disk error seems to indicate your actual hard drive

and it also mentions a page error which could also indicate the drive as well

if u want to run a RAM test

download the latest memtest either install on a flash drive (if u can) or burn to a CD and boot from it and run the tests

also could use the diagnostic tools of the manufacturer of your drive. but quite likely a hard drive failure

 

I just had another one. I'm on a different computer now. It seems to happen everytime I use an Acer program. I don't remember how it crashed the first time, but yesterday I click on Launch Manger and it crashed. Just now I was trying to use Acer's Webcam program and it crashed.

 

run diagnostics on both memory and drive and see what they tell u first

 

I can't right now. It won't boot. Even if it did, I can't get it to run the diaganostics. I don't think I'm doing it right. Could you please give me detailed instructions on how to run ram test and hd test? It would be greatly appreiated.

 

I think i have the same problem. U get error 200 code @ startup?
I think its bios related.

Did you upgrade your hard-drive or didn't touch it?
I've also posted in the Acer 5102 thread btw, with more details about my (and perhaps your) problem

 

help! please

 

replying to your thread with no additional information does not make people want to reply. It's considered spam, please remember this.

The best suggestions I have are as follows.

#1. If you keep getting BSOD's you have either a hardware or software problem

Hardware -

Run a memory scan (memtest) and run your hard drive manufactures diagonstics.

Software -

Check your history logs under event viewer.

If the pc won't even boot you first need to get it to that point (duh)

No, I haven't upgraded my harddrive.

I would do the mem tests if I knew how to. Could you tell me how I can run it please?
