First off I'll state my system specs.

Acer Aspire M1100

  • Windows Vista Home Basic 32bit OEM
  • 2 Gigs of DDR2 ram
  • 160Gig hard drive
  • 2.7Ghz AMD Athlon 64 processor
  • ATI Radeon X1250 Graphics card

A few days ago my computer did automatic updates and updated windows defender to KB915597 (Definition 1.135.415.0), After which when shutting down and starting up I would receive BSOD with the information

BUGCODE_USE_DRIVER and 0x000000FE (0x00000008, 0x00000006, 0x00000006, 0x877330000)

upon where my computer would not start up with any USB devices plugged in and it always require me to run startup repair before it started.

Upon when I first started it up and was able to fully boot windows, I had no use of the mouse so I was unable to install the fix that the windows solutions center brought up on my screen, so I restarted again and installed the fix hoping it would cease the problem, it did not.

Upoon starting up after installing the fix and restarting I was confronted with the

BSOD 0x000000FE (0x00000008, 0x00000006, 0x00000006, 0x83291000)

at which I found the startup repair could not fix the problem and I restored, as I most like should have in the first place.

After going through that I read that simply installing the latest defender version from the microsoft site had fixed this problem for others, so I did that, to find I still received the BSOD's.

So in a attempt to find a fix to the problem I went to the microsoft answers site to try to find a way to fix the problem, there I was told to simply disable defender and reboot to see if that fixed the problem, upon doing this my computer would no longer even startup, when I boot normally I get to just when the loading screen finishes and then my computer restarts and when I run startup repair, it runs for about 15 seconds and then my computer restarts as well.

I have tried running ubuntu live discs in order to simply access the drive and simply copy and paste the 2 month old physical backup I have of my C drive to the C drive, but whenever I run the live OS when it gets to the end of the load screen and is about to boot, the computer again restarts, yet if I put in a gparted disc, I am able to boot it fully, although it does not give me access to the file system just partition managing and when I attempt to access the internet through it, the computer once again restarts.

So my question is, how could the update and what has happened prevent me from running the live OS's properly?
