Blue Screen

So I reinstalled Vista to get rid of a BSoD whenever I put my laptop into hibernate or sleep.

When I did this, I was also dual booting with XP. I decided I was tired of XP and didn't need it anymore so I wanted to put Ubuntu 9 on to mess around with instead.

So I have my partitions as

Primary1 - (Vista System)
Primary2 - (Data)
Extended1 - (contains Ubuntu and my Linux-Swap)

So I reloaded Vista but now I sometimes get a STOP error when I'm loading up windows, particularily the .sys files. I can't boot in safe mode because that fails too. So there is something wrong with the Windows system.

The error code: STOP 0x0000007B (0x80603BA0, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

The peculiar thing is, this error usually comes up if I have to restart the system. Like, I'm logged into either Ubuntu or Vista and I hit restart and boot into Vista, I will get this error code. If I try to load vista from a cold start (i.e. power is off), i usually don't get the error at all.

Also, I ran CHKDSK and nothing comes up as an error. Windows startup disk repair seemed to have found something wrong but it failed to repair and I don't know what it actually found...

Had this a while back on xp itself, wasn't able to even go through safe mode, unfortnately needed a wipe and clean, alebit I did manage to save my current files.

Save all files you may ever want from it. Back up everything. And don't be lazy about it like I was. I have files trapped on my old laptop that I may never be able to recover.

I've reinstalled already and I get the same problem. I'm thinking it's not fixable simply by a reinstall. There's got to be more to it.

Tabs, if you want your files back from your old laptop, go get a $20 2.5 inch hard drive enclosure, rip out the hard drive from your old laptop, stick your drive in the enclosure, plug it into whatever computer you're using now and you should have all your files back.
