Hey,
I'm running Windows Vista 32 bit on a gateway computer with the following specs (Dunno if this is complete enough):
Vista Home Premium 32 bit
Phoenix v6.00PG bio
3G of RAM
Direct X 11
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT with 1776 MB Memory
Now within the past few days (I havn't installed anything major at all within the past week or so) I've started to get an error and it go as follows (I get more based on what is open):
[explorer.exe- Application Error
The instruction at 0x75d4f967 referenced memory at 0x75d4f967. The required data was not placed into memory because of an I/O error status of 0xc00000e.
Click OK to terminate the program]
Now sometimes it blue screens my computer without giving me a warning, but i'm assuming that it is related. When I click OK explorer closes and I just see a blank desktop. I have to manually boot down my computer and restart it. Restarting in safe mode doesn't seem to fix it, so I'm also guessing that it is a core driver problem.
When I restart in any mode, after I log in it hangs at the black loading screen for a noticable amount of time. And it seems to hold up from 5-25 minutes before it quits. In this time I've been able to update my graphics card, disc drive, and sound drivers. Also, sometimes it tries to boot from the disc drive, and fails (there's nothing in there) and asks for me to hit enter to retry but it just goes in circles from there, and requires another restart.
I've run sfc /scannow, system restore, Gateway Recovery Center Memory diagnostics (no notices popped up when I logged on), and am now installing some optional updates from microsoft that have to do with my video card (Hah, update as I was typing, they both failed with an error code 80070103, they were the Nvidia Display for the GeForce 8800 GT and the NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller).
So sorry for the walls of text, but I was trying to be as complete as possible. Next blue screen I'll get the codes off of that. Any help would be appreciated. I'm scared all these restarts are frying my computer or something!
