well just got back in and I pulled the battery and it won't boot. Put the battery back in and it won't boot. Nothing, Power light comes on but that's it. This is a screwy machine.

Appreciate the offer fellas but theprograms I run won't run under anything but windows.

Ok, it's beyond my skills. It has been running for 1.5 hrs in safe mode without a lockup. tells me it is a driver problem, however windows update won;t work and sony's website says my computer is the fxa47 (until I try and download a driver) then it says wrong computer model.

No problem, I appreciate the help, but the site examined my computer and balked at it. lol Also let me be clear on this: THIS PROBLEM I AM HAVING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TGO AND THE OTHER HAPPENINGS. THIS COMPUTER HAS NEVER BEEN ON TGO OR ANY OTHER NON SECURED SITES. Just wanted to make that clear.

None of that info helps. Mine is a 9b3l and the fxa47 does not work. I type in the 9b3l and nothing comes up, I type in the fxa47 and the drivers won't load because of thewrong model number. Thanks for trying.

Sorry, missed that one. Event id 7026

It's XP home, factory install 2001 (welll that's the bios date and I just did a fresh install). Error "netBt" Error "dcom" Error "dcom" again error "service control manager" And under applications error "eventsystem" error "vss" dcom is the one that's coming up the most. Category: none Type: Error Event id: 10005 User Nt authority\system What ever it is it can't be run in "safe mode" so this error is not helping us, I'm creating this error trying to start something that does not work in safe mode. Now the "service control manager has this: the following boot start or system start driver {s} failed to load AMDK7 DMIcall Fips I appreciate your help.

Well I rebooted it. Went all the way to where the screen goes blank right before the "sign in " page and froze. Did it again and it froze just as soon as windows started. Sorry piece of crap, I'm gonna introduce it to the judge.

But it still has not been determined that the hand gun was unloaded. Not once has anyone said that it was loaded or unloaded, only that the rifle was "unloaded" which leads me to suspect something was going on.

I have it booted to safe mode, Working for now (right this minute anyway) Event viewer shows: Error "netBt" Error "dcom" Error "dcom" again error "service control manager" And under applications error "eventsystem" error "vss" Also 4 "warnings under this heading, 3 of them are "userenv" warnings

No, where?

No, what I said was it locks up at different points, and no it's not heat related, I just tried it again cold and the same thing. Model PCG-9B3L Yes, the keyboard is fine. I did a complete system restore using factory restore disks. Only way to assure nothing else was interferring, even changed the hard drive out to do the restore on. Oh and Ohshoot, not diagnostics in setup, earlier bios don't tell anything. Bios dosn't tell anything about the system other than "what's here", early version of Phonix bios.

Should be. I'll check This thing is clean inside. Very unusual for a computer but the dust bunnys haven't found a way to make it their home.

Oh, I've changed out MB's in a laptop before. Not fun. I just wanted to verify my findings before I shoot it.

Not hot as far as I can tell. Thanks for the help. Yes, therefore the new target comment.

I have a Sony Vio laptop that has gone nuts. I use this computer almost everyday for soem of my alarm programs. However today I opened the lid to find a "locked" condition, it was hard locked, Ctl,alt, del would do nothing. It has 2 memory chips in it so I removed one, still locks up and it's not in the same place every time. I replaced the remaining chip with the one I removed, same problem. I replaced the hard drive with a blank drive and did a system recovery. Did the whole recovery, booted to windows and the locks up. From my non computer trained eye, it appears there is something wrong with the motherboard. But I want to get someone (who works on them) elses opinion. Is it something I can fix or do I have a new target? I just bought this computer not 8 months ago from a "friend". I paid more than I should have but that's not the point. Anyone local that wants to examine it Just let me know, I'm at a loss, I haven't lost any data, the hard drive still works and I can recover the data if I find there is something on there I must have (the one that is in the machine now is a "clean" drive, nothing on there to loose or recover.

Still want to know if the hadgun was loaded. Until we know one way or the other none of will ever know who was right and who was wrong.

I picked the 357 also, however you could always buy the loricin back from me.

Nah, it's got the "frankenbolt" for an extractor.

I've ahndeled one at All American Gun shop. While replacing the slide I got bit and had a "blood blister" for a week. Looks like a keltec only rougher.

well if I am reading this correctly(since he specified the rifle was "unloaded" then the pistol, even though it was in a locked box in the trunk was loaded and therefore in violation. Not sure if thats the case but why specidy the rifle was "unloaded" and not specify the status of the pistol as well unless it was loaded. The law is clear on that point, "unloaded and ammo seperate" for transport without a HCP.

Thanks. Which would be better?

That's just craptastic. Looks like eveyone is back in there

Spray can is all I could hope to do.

I have 2 96FS police trade ins that I would like to refinish. disassembly, and bead blasting are no problem. what I am looking for is something to refinish them with. Any suggestions?
