Alright ...
No BSOD in XP for two years, and now, I got one in Vista. The problem isn't the BSOD itself (well, yes to some extent) but the moment at which is occurred. See ... I was downloading and installing updates via Microsoft.com, and it BSOD'ed WHILE it was doing just that. It could have happened during game-play but noooooooooo it had to happen while updating Vista.
Ok, now you might say "so what, a BSOD in Vista in normal and all you have to do is to go back to Microcash's web-site and get back to your updating stuff". Well, I thought so as well, but it ain't as simple as that anymore. Now, ALL of the updates that couldn't be installed before it BSOD'ed are listed as "Failed" when looking at the installed updates page. And each time I go back to the web-site it tells me that those updates are missing, well DUH ! Ok, I try to install them, but it fails ...
Then, I told myself "ok, you wanna play that game ?! It plays with two players !", so I search Microsoft's site to individual updates. To my surprise I found half of them BUT ... you guessed it, probably, each of them REFUSE to install, it tells me that it cannot install the update because an error was encountered or something like that.
Now, my questions are: 1) What should I do, and 2) That BSOD said something like "physical dump process" (similar to that, not exactly that word-by-word), and then I saw like a counter, in percentage, it started at around 60 and it went fast up to 100, to the bottom of the page, and then it restarted my system. And of course when I came back to the Desktop Windows told me that the system recovered from an unexpected crash, so what could have been that about ?
It feels so dumb ...
No erros, no crashes like that not a SINGLE TIME on a five years-old OS, now I get exited with Vista, first time ever, install goes smooth as ever, system is snappy, everything goes fine and BAM, that stupid BSOD gets in the way. Indeed, the WOW effect was right there when I saw that. I was like ... "wow", seriously, therefore Microsoft wins.
