Windows XP Blue Screen and green bar

January 16th, 2014

Hey guys I’m having a problem with my Windows XP laptop. Its an older laptop of mine and I had to go on it to get some files. I was using it last week just fine.
I turned it on and it has a blue screen with a green bar on it. Theres lines on it that keep going from right to left in a fast motion. I’ve never heard or seen this before. The laptop wont turn off by holding the power button down.
I’m just gonna keep it hooked up to power just in case something happens. But can someone tell me what this is and how to fix it?

Answer #1
Turn off your laptop by unplugging it from power and removing the battery, then turn it back on.
If the problem persists I’d reckon it’s something to do with the mobo…

According to the problem description, you met the BSOD or stop error issue while using Windows 7. Since Windows system uses separated user mode and kernel mode memory space, stop errors are always caused by kernel portion components, such as a hardware device, third-party drivers, backup software or anti-virus services (buggy services).

The system goes to a blue screen because there is some exceptions happened in the kernel (either the device driver errors or the service errors), and Windows implements this mechanism: When it detects some errors occur in the kernel, it will kill the box in case some more severe damage happens. Then we get a blue screen or the system reboots (it depends on what the system settings are).

First of all, remove all unnecessary hardware devices from the computer, try entering Windows safe mode to test whether it is a third-party software/hardware compatibility issue. If the problem still persists, to troubleshoot this kind of kernel crash issue, we need to debug the crashed system dump. Unfortunately, debugging is beyond what we can do in the forum. A suggestion would be to contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support (CSS) via telephone so that a dedicated Support Professional can assist with your request. Please be advised that contacting phone support will be a charged call.

try taking the memory out and re-inserting it,the blue screen with a green bar sounds like xp service pack 1 the only alternative is installing windows over itself i.e dont format the drive this will keep all the files intact in documents folders
