My son has an XP service pack 3 desktop for college work. Anyway, today he kept getting a BSOD after the computer has been on for a few minutes, with a non-specific message when I Google it.
However, I can run Bart PE or LInux bootable with software fine. And for extended periods. Like hour or more. - So obviously not hardware.
He did not load new software or drivers.
If I simply boot the computer and it goes to profile login screen, even f I do nothing, it will go to BSOD. Otherwise I can enter Windows in profile, open software or Internet, but will get BSOD. Event log did mention possible Trojan, but how to remove it as the XP will not last more than a few minutes?
He has much college work on it. Ideas?
