Irene Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 A few years ago, I purchased a desktop PC (without OS). I also purchased and installed Windows 7 Home Premium Retail. When it was replaced with my current rig, I passed the tower on to my daughter. It recently started having BSOD’s (ending 024; 1A; 1E). It is possible to start normally, but within a short time a BSOD will occur. Is a repair possible or will it require reformat and Win7 reinstall? Any advice on how to proceed would be appreciated.

Boris Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Irene - 0x24 generally means some part of the HDD system is causing a problem Has she tried ? run sfc /scannow see :- http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html or done a chkdsk /r see :- http://www.w7forums.com/threads/how-to-use-chkdsk-check-disk.448/ What are the S.M.A.R.T. settings showing on the drive ? - use Speccy https://www.piriform.com/speccy and look under Storage / SMART / SMART attributes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Many thanks for responding, Boris. I have the computer here, so can work on it myself. A short while ago, I removed both of the sides and cleaned away lots of dust accumulation. I then did a start-up repair (3rd attempt) which finally completed without crashing. It stated - Root cause found: System colume on disk is corrupt. Repair action: File system repair (chkdsk) - Result completed successfully. Then it crashed again with error code 0x0....1E Grrr! It rebooted and I looked at the S.M.A.R.T. result on Speccy. I've screen captured it - at the bottom of the list it said 32 degrees C Status Good. Will need to connect to internet with the pc, then I can show you the full detail. Back soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Boris, I have also performed sfc /scannow several times (some of which it crashed on!). I still have the original installation disks (only used once for this pc). Is it possible to replace/repair from that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 You should be able to do a repair installation of Windows 7 with them - see here :- http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html Is it an actual Retail version ? or an OEM version that you bought ? A full Retail version can be installed on another PC if it comes to the crunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
