Vista issues

Recommended Posts

so i got this problem with Vista where it shuts down and reboots cause i havent installed a windows update, it keeps doing this at random times

 

now the problem is, i did the update, it updated to service pack 1.. and then i got no sound, even when i updated drivers to the latest ones available

now i dont want to buy a completely different soundcard just cause windows blows, so i decided to restore my system to before the update (which had a couple of problems at first)

and now im back getting these reboots.

 

anyone knows a good way of fixing either one of those problems?

tbh i got no clue what kind of soundcard it is, its a built-in one on the motherboard

its a NFORCE500-SLI-M2N-ESLI-00 motherboard, and with using device manager i looked for newer drivers on the web, but it said the latest ones were already installed

i tried disabling the soundcard and then enable it, didnt work.. uninstalled drivers and reboot the computer to make it auto-install drivers, that didnt work either

 

oh and at device manager the sound device had like a warning sign next to it, with a code 10 which led me to a microsoft website to scan your computer for errors and fix them, specially for vista.. but as you can guess that didnt fix anything either

downloaded those drivers and reattempted to update to service pack 1

now it gives a black screen when rebooting saying 0xc01a001d with some other flickering text

 

its a common problem, millions of people had this issue and it hasnt been fixed for over 2 year....

now i figured out my only 2 options are to

 

A: use system recovery from the vista CD

B: reinstall everything

 

trying to do the recovery process now but it seems to be in a loop, it just says its finishing up file recovery for a while now..

why the fk is a billion dollar company doing a half assed job and still earn billions?

 

need to get an ubuntu cd :<

Because despite their half-assed job, you continue to buy their product.

their product comes w/ the thing i buy :<

 

btw i had to format my harddrive and reinstall, after the second time i tried to update to SP1 with the driver you linked it gave an error saying something like 0xc0001/deriveddata

each time it boots

system restore got stuck on the finalizing file recovery part.. so i just took my losses and reinstalled everything

Windows doesn't come with every PC in existence by default.

If wherever you buy a computer from only sells systems pre-loaded with Windows, buy from somewhere else.

 

Anyways, gl with it all, hope u can get it working.
