A lot of searches and I found this may be a helpful place.
This is for my daughter's laptop. Rather PC savvy (*my machine is self-made*), but having a hard time trying to figure out what is wrong with this laptop since she returned from college.
Shortly (or randomly) after logging in to either regular mode or Safe Mode, it will BSOD. I can barely try installing a new driver or run CPU-Z before it BSODs on me. Odd note, that when I try to install something, the fonts (letters) don't show up sometimes. They show as Boxes.
The exceptions are hit and miss. Some say SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (STOP: 3b). I've seen a PAGE_FAULT. I've seen references to win32k.sys as well.
The machine is a HP Pavilion Entertainment PC (laptop). Model dv6-1355dx
It has 4.00 GB of memory
Intel Core2 Duo CPU T6600 @ 2.20 GHz
Reading other posts, I did try to take it apart and noticed that one memory model wasn't latched down. It seemed seated, but not latched by the metal clips on the side.
Ran sfc /scannow and it doesn't show anything now.
Was luckily able to run a full scan using Malwarebytes and it found nothing.
Ran chkdsk from HP Recovery on boot and it didn't appear to complain.
Wasn't able to access system restore.
Thanks for any suggestions/help.
Regards,
Joe
