Bsod Help Disk Defragmenter wont finish
Hey guys. I got a BSOD yesterday and I'm trying to fix it. On a page in yahoo answers some guy said to disk defrag and it'll fix it.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=1006052024880
I disk defragged yesterday, but I stopped it at 52% since my fan was blowing like crazy and I was going to sleep. (Cleaned the inside of the case out earlier, but it was still blowing loud) Anyways this morning I turned it on and it couldn't defrag anymore, like it would stop midway through. I grew pretty annoyed of the fan so I cleaned it out again and realized I didn't clean the fan right over the CPU. After that, the fan stopped blowing as loud. ANYWAYS, here's the message I keep getting that stops it from defragmenting all the way
Defragmentation is complete for : (C
Some files on this volume could not be defragmented.
Please check the defragmentation report for a list of these files.
Then I clicked the file report
Files that could not defragment
(Nothing here)
Any solution? Also are there any other ways I can fix the bsod without a system restore? The BSOD goes way too fast and I can't even see the STOP x blah blah on a camera because it doesn't even load that far for the BSOD.
Thanks a lot if you can help

Yup thanks for the help. I scanned my computer 2 days ago so it fixed the svchost.exe problem ^_^
Do you have automatic Windows Updates turned on..?
It's possible that's what's running an svchost trying to update your Windows (which is a good thing).
If that's what's happening it should disappear when the updating finishes.
Having the BSoD happen like you described (when you start the computer, but not in Safe Mode) makes it sound like the problem actually WAS a bad video driver, and it's possible a Windows Update might fix that.
Also, if you're not already doing it regularly, this would be a good time to scan the computer for viruses/trojans.
Those can be another possible cause of problems like this.
I think the problem is one of my svchost.exe which is going up to over a million virtual memory..
The BSOD happen(ed) when I started up my computer but not the safe mode.
Dunno how to reinstall drivers
I somehow got rid of the BSOD by downloading a few things but the svchost is lagging me and stuff
Yes, the numbers in the parentheses are normally not important, just the initial STOP code.
Looking around the net, the easiest things to try, as indicated on the Microsoft page about dealing with this stop code are:
1- Make sure you disk isn't completely, or almost completely full.
2- Reinstall your video card drivers.
Are you familiar with how to reinstall drivers..?
And WHEN does the BSOD happen..?
None of the information says anything about defragmenting, (and I couldn't figure out why that would have been recommended in the first place).
YahooAnswers is the last place I trust for anything, btw.
Yeah it's STOP: 0x0000007E (0XC0000005, 0xBA4B915E, 0XBA50386C, 0XBA503568) (Don't think those extra numbers matter but w/e)
and windows xp
Is it 0x0000007E...? It makes a difference what number it is.
Also, what version of Windows do you have, and when exactly does the BSOD happen..?
Thanks BobR! But I still can't fix the bsod and nothing I check helps I think its like 0x0000007E or something ._.

When you get to the boot menu after pressing F8, choose "Safe Mode with Networking".
That will start your connection to the Internet and you can use your normal browser to download things then.
Yeah I disabled the automatic restart today before I saw this thread. Going to google for a fix or something.
@Jazzman , my internet is down in safe mode, so I can't dl another defragmentation software. Going to try fixing the stop error first.
Did you tun off the defragment software before turn your computer off? Have you tried an alternate defragmentation software?
First thing to do is to restart the computer in "Safe Mode".
Press the F8 key repeatedly after you turn the computer on, right before the Windows loading screen appears.
If you hit the timing right, it'll bring up a new menu with several startup options on it.
See if "Disable Automatic Restart" appears in the menu and if so, cursor down to it and press Enter.
This will tell Windows not to restart the computer automatically when it receives a STOP error message (BSOD) so you can see what the blue screen actually says.
If that option doesn't appear on the menu, choose "Safe Mode" instead and press Enter.
If you get a message asking if you want to use System Restore, just tell it to start in Safe Mode.
When the desktop appears it will look odd because it's running in a minimal diagnostic mode.
Right Click on "My Computer" and goto "Properties".
Then click the "Advanced" tab and under "Startup and Recovery", click "Settings".
Uncheck the "Automatically Restart" box and press OK.
Then restart the computer normally.
This will leave the blue screen on the display so you can write down the number after where it says "STOP" near the bottom.
This is the important code necessary to look up what's causing the error.
