Blue Screen issues after Boot up.

[shudrod740]

I have a Dell Optiplex Gx260, 1GB Ram. I am receiving blue screens everytime after booting the pc up. The error messages our different everytime I boot and get the blue screen.

The messages are the following: Panic_Stack, Bogus Driver, Usbscan.sys, instelide.sys, and Psched.sys.

Is this just a corrupt and bad Hard Drive due to the fact that I was able to pass the post test.

Run a memtest, check your cables and power connector to the drive...

but I am betting that it probably related to Memory problems, seeing that the BSOD are different everytime(?) when you boot...

To conduct a memtest, you mean by using some third party tool to boot up to and test out the ram? And hopefully it's not the motherboard but the just a bad ram chip?

Ben most likely means a third-party memory tester such as can be found at:

Thanks Freestone, exactly what I meant...

sorry, I was on the run when I typed the above...

also can you get into Safe Mode?

To get into the XP Safe mode:

while booting press and hold your "F8 Key" this should bring up the "Windows Advanced Options Menu". Then use your arrow keys to move to "Safe Mode" and press your Enter key.

if that is the case, then it might aswell be a bad driver or malware which is causing the BSOD...
