BSOD Error after the power outages

Asked By mikee langford 10 points N/A Posted on - 08/07/2012

Hi,

My Windows stopped due to power cut, and at that time I was downloading a software. Next time when I try to boot, it shows me a bsod immediately before the login display, but the bsod was so fast to be seen! As a result, I don’t have that code.

Then I setup Ubuntu 10.10 on my machine, and I tried to increase the faulty drive, but it gave me an error message and said that the problem was in hardware or in software. Also, it recommended me to start chkdsk /f through the recovery console, as well as boot the windows twice. I want my files back and the software is also replaceable.
I have the following options:

1. I run chkdsk /f and then try to recover the files as well as reinstall windows
2. Then try to power mount the drive in Ubuntu
3. After that format the total drive as well as start the end again

Please help.

Thanks.

BSOD Error after the power outages

Hi,

Ensure that you run your antivirus. Usually, when you are downloading a software your computer will be prone from getting viruses. If you got an issue after the power outage, try to unplug your computer for 30 minutes and then plug it back again and see if you will still get the same issue. Or if you are getting issue with the BIOS, try to reset it by taking out the CMOS battery on your CPU.
