Hi all,
Recently, I noticed on my PC that when I boot it up into the desktop, I get 5 or 6 critical stop sounds.

I tried running ASO 3's junk file remover, registry cleaner and optimizer, and the built in file cleaner and went through all of the start up items which seem to be fine... just for the life of me cannot figure out why I am getting these critical stop sounds,

Everything seems to be working fine but is REALLY more annoying than anything. :huh:

I am running windows 7 (obviously) :huh:

Any ideas?

Thanks guys

Running registry optimizers and cleaners can cause unforeseen circumstances.

My work schedule is as follows: Mon and Tues 1800 to 0600, Friday - Sunday 1800EST to 0600, and Wednesday to Thursday 1800est to 0600. So if I do not respond right away I am at work.

You may have deleted some necessary start up files from the registry. You may have to reinstall some programs to get these errors to stop. What was the issue that you were having anyways?

To be honest, I really don't recall waht the issue was or where I would have even messed with the start up items. Is there a way to narrow down which start up item(s) may be causing this?
