XP pro x64 system crashing -- PLEASE HELP!!! NYTELTECH 5/8/2007 4:10:00 AM A year ago, I decided to put a system together - thought I was getting the latest and greatest, but got nothing more than headache after headache ( you can chalk that up to this being my first build). All in all, I am not disappointed with my system. I have aLGA 775 3.73GHz Intel processor, A-bit AW8D motherboard, 2Gigs of RAM, one 400GB HD, and one 200GB HD. Recently, I have been plagued by error code 0x0000003b, but all my searches have not helped. I have installed SP2, but I still get this error message and constant crashes. The funny thing is, that it only happens on one administrator account and not the other. Can anyone please provide me with additional tips/pointers? Any help would be graetly appreciated.

"Charlie Russel - MVP" <charlie[ at ]mvKILLALLSPAMMERSps.org> 5/8/2007 5:53:45 AM From what I'm seeing in Google, this error looks like a corruption, possibly of the registry. Since it's only one user, start by removing that user from the computer. Completely. Delete his / her profile, etc. I'd also look at exactly _when_ it is happening. This may be a clue as to why. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "NYTELTECH" <NYTELTECH[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:F57C4970-D292-48C7-AB00-8997F887843B[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: XP pro x64 system crashing -- PLEASE HELP!!! NYTELTECH 5/8/2007 6:03:02 AM Thanks for the quick reply, information is very helpful, but it happens no matter what I do under my primary administrator account. Usually about 5 minutes after boot-up. In regards to removing the profile; will I lose any data under that account? I use that for business that I don't want my wife, kids and others gaining access to. Thanks again.

Re: XP pro x64 system crashing -- PLEASE HELP!!! NYTELTECH 5/8/2007 2:07:02 PM Mr. Russel: THANK YOU for the suggestion. I deleted the primary administrator account after backing up, and restored all files afterward (kind of winged it), but it wasn't as hard as I thought, and everything seems O.K -- actually had my PC on for over three hours for the first time ine about a month. tHanks again. Mr. Kluth: Your suggestion will not go unheeded either, I plan to perform that backup as soon as I get back home this evening. Thanks!
