The Origins of Democracy
The Green Family Introductory History Unit
The state of California has established the following standards to be learned in the tenth grade.
Students will analyze the similarities and differences in Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian views of Law, Reason, Faith, and the duties, and responsibilities, of the individual. Students will trace the development of the Western political ideas of; the Rule of Law, Democracy, and Tyranny
Greek lecture: 1. INNOVATION…
means a brand new thought, invention, or strategy... The Ancient Greeks innovate a culture that becomes the foundation of Western Civilization. A. Drama B. Architecture C. Science D. Mathematics E. History F. Politics G. Philosophy H. Government Odysseus The Sirens Greek drama: antagonist, catastrophe, catharsis, character, chorus, comedy, conflict, dialogue, drama, epic, foil, hubris, legend, motivation, myth, ode, persona, plot, protagonist, scenery, setting, tragedy. This is me if you don't do your homework!!!
columns Greek Architecture
Euclid…mathematics (geometry)
Herodotus…the "father of history" Pythagoras…mathematics
Played an important role in Greece's development…why do you think?
2. GEOGRAPHY Played an important role in Greece's development…why do you think? Greece occupies a small, mountainous peninsula. The mountains isolated Greek communities, so they followed their own ways of life These communities developed into city-states…the POLIS The polis consisted of the city and the surrounding countryside. Politics means…the things of the polis There are 100's of little islands in the Aegean
Greek City-states…the POLIS
All political, social and religious activities took place in the polis From polis we get…politics, Metropolis Acropolis Cosmopolitan And Police These city-states become very independent and even fought each other. Check out the map…see how isolated from each other they are? You will notice that Greece has a huge coastline…lots of sea The sea made the Greeks explore and set up new cities and settlements throughout the Mediterranean.
Politics…Greek style The running of the polis soon fell into the hands of local rich men, called…? An Oligarchy …a form of government where a few wealthy people hold power over a larger group of citizens. The gap between the rich and the poor grew wider under the oligarchy system and this led to…? The rise of Tyranny …an authoritarian form of government where one man seizes power and rules single-handedly Some Tyrants were good for their city-states while others were cruel and power hungry Tyrants were rulers who were not subject to the law…they could do anything they wanted Should rulers/leaders/politicians be above the law? In the Greek city-state of Athens, tyranny did not last long…soon Athenians were asking for more say in the way their city was run. They rejected authoritarian forms of government, such as tyranny, chieftains, or kings They developed a form of government where all adult males were members of an assembly, or legislature. We call this form of government…? Democracy …democracy is 2 Greek words…demos=people and cracy=government. Democracy then means "rule of the people" Women, in Greece, were not allowed to participate in law-making In fact, women were not even allowed to eat at the same table as their husbands…
A modern Greek drachma coin
The male citizens of Athens met about 40 times a year to debate and decide public issues. They declared war, signed treaties, and spent taxes…maybe that's why they didn't allow women…I'm just kidding! So, from the lowliest worker to the richest man all had the right to vote, to hold public office, and to express his opinion in the assembly. Clearly, such a system was based on the belief that the average citizen was capable of participating intelligently in the affairs of state. The greatest Athenian statesman Pericles said: " Our constitution is called a democracy because power is in the hands of the many and not the few" Pericles and other men meeting in the assembly Pericles A modern Greek drachma coin
An example of a myth…how do you explain an echo?
The ideals of the democratic state could only have happened in a society that had a respect for human intelligence and the power of reason. The Greeks were the first people to try to explain nature, human behavior, and culture, scientifically. Earlier peoples, including Greeks, had interpreted the world…nature…through myths. There was a human named Narcissus. He was so handsome that every girl or boy that saw him immediately fell in love with him. But Narcissus had no heart and loved no one. One day, Echo met Narcissus and fell in love with him. Echo could not speak to him, but she had felt she needed to see him. So Echo followed him, just enough to see him, but not enough to be seen. Narcissus became lost and called out, "Is anyone here?" Echo said, "Here, here, here." Narcissus told whoever was there to come out. Echo came out and, because she couldn't talk, used her hands to show Narcissus how much she loved him. Narcissus, annoyed that so many people liked him, rejected her love. Echo, heart-broken, prayed to Aphrodite for death. Her prayer was answered, but Aphrodite loved her voice, so she let her voice live on. An example of a myth…how do you explain an echo?
How did humans discover fire? According to the ancient Greeks…
Prometheus is the Titan chiefly honored for stealing fire from Zeus in the stalk of a fennel plant and giving it to mortal humans for their use. For that, Zeus ordered him to be chained on top of the Caucasus mountains. Every day an eagle would come and eat his liver, but since Prometheus was immortal, his liver always grew back, so he was left to bear the pain every day. He is depicted as an intelligent and cunning figure who had sympathy for humanity. Prometheus bound up Prometheus bringing fire Prometheus statue in New York's Rockefeller Centre
Let's get back to reason, science and human potential…
The first Greek philosophers were not satisfied in explaining nature, and how it worked, to be the actions of the gods…lightning was not Zeus throwing bolts from Mt. Olympus. Instead, all things in the Natural World followed predictable patterns, which they called Natural Laws. The rules of nature could be discovered by human beings through careful observation and reasoned enquiry. Socrates was the first of the three great Athenian philosophers (the other two are Plato and Aristotle). When Socrates was in his forties or so, he began to feel an urge to think about the world around him, and try to answer some difficult questions. He asked, "What is wisdom?" and "What is beauty?" and "What is the right thing to do?" He knew that these questions were hard to answer, and he thought it would be better to have a lot of people discuss the answers together, so that they might come up with more ideas. So he began to go around Athens asking people he met these questions, "What is wisdom?"... Sometimes the people just said they were busy, but sometimes they would try to answer him. Then Socrates would try to teach them to think better by asking them more questions which showed them the problems in their logic. Often this made people angry. Sometimes they even tried to beat him up. We do not have any pictures of him…just sculptures…he was supposed to be pretty ugly!
The Death of Socrates Socrates loved Philosophy …the love of wisdom.
He taught a number of students…not for pay…he believed the role of education was to improve the individual…he questioned everything! His questioning of authority led him into trouble with the leaders of Athens…does this sound like Antigone? He was tried and found guilty of treason…and sentenced to death by hemlock poisoning. The Death of Socrates
One of Socrates' students was PLATO…probably the greatest philosopher in western civilization.
When Plato was a young man, he went to listen to Socrates, and learned a lot from Socrates about how to think, and what sort of questions to think about. Plato began to write down his own ideas about philosophy instead of just writing down Socrates' ideas. One of his earlier works/book is The Republic, which describes what Plato thought would be a better form of government than the government of Athens. Plato thought that most people were pretty stupid, and so they should not be voting about what to do….can you blame him? And, he hadn't even met my mother-in-law! Instead, the best people should be chosen to be the guardians of the rest. Plato was from a rich aristocratic family, so he probably considered himself among the best people!. Plato believed that for society to work it needs to have order…Order gives stability Law and justice give order and stability House point challenge: What was the Academy?
What is truth? What is reality?
One of the ways Plato tried to explain his ideas was with the famous metaphor of the cave. He said, Suppose there is a cave, and inside the cave there are some men chained up to a wall, so that they can only see the back wall of the cave and nothing else. These men can't see anything outside of the cave, or even see each other clearly, but they can see shadows of what is going on outside the cave. Wouldn't these prisoners come to think that the shadows were real, and that was what things really looked like? Suppose now that one of the men escaped, and got out of the cave, and saw what real people looked like, and real trees and grass. If he went back to the cave and told the other men what he had seen, would they believe him, or would they think he was crazy? Plato says that we are like those men sitting in the cave: we think we understand the real world, but because we are trapped in our bodies we can see only the shadows on the wall. One of his goals is to help us understand the real world better, by finding ways to predict or understand the real world even without being able to see it. What is truth? What is reality?
**** Very important and you must remember it…or!!!
Let's finish Plato with a quick look at one of the most important works in literature… The Republic In The Republic he writes about the perfect form of government… He didn't like democracy because he didn't think people were ETHICAL. House point challenge: what do the following mean…ETHICAL, WISDOM, COURAGE and MORAL? In The Republic Plato divides society into three: A. at the top…philosopher kings who were inspired by wisdom B. second group…warriors who protected society C. the rest…the masses, people who are not driven by wisdom or courage but by a desire for material things "stuff" **** Very important and you must remember it…or!!! PLATO BELIEVED THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, NOT THE HAPPINESS OF THE INDIVIDUAL WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
ARISTOTLE was a student of Plato
Unlike Plato…who believed in a perfect state… Aristotle did not think a perfect state could exist He examined a lot of different kinds of government around at that time House point challenge: identify and explain what the following governments are CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT MONARCHY ARISTOCRACY OLIGARCHIES TYRANNIES DEMOCRACIES REPUBLICS 10 POINTS FOR EACH ONE Aristotle favored constitutional monarchy Don't get mad… He believed women were inferior to men and should be subordinate in marriage and society
As we finish with the Greeks let's remember one of their greatest achievements
They questioned the old ways of looking at the world. Over time, every aspect of Greek civilization – science, art, literature, drama, and politics – showed a growing reliance on reason and inquiry and less dependence on the supernatural or traditional explanations With this achievement, the Greeks broke decisively with the past.
Let us do a comparison between two Greek city-states
ATHENS SPARTA Democracy…all citizens (free males) participated in government activities All citizens were equal before the law Women and slaves were denied citizenship Young Athenians developed their artistic, and intellectual sides. Philosophy, mathematics, science, and drama flourished. Pursued individual wealth Individuality very important Individual quest for happiness important Totalitarianism: a form of government that uses force and power to rule its own people. Spartan society was divided into 3 groups; 1. slaves…provided food and labor 2. women…taught to be fit, brave, patriotic, and make babies for Sparta 3. Men…all became warriors Newborn babies judged to be weak were killed Boys at the age of 7 were taken from home to live in army barracks and received military training They were barefoot and wore minimal clothing to toughen them up Gave up wealth as unpatriotic Spartan men glorified war! No room for individuality State before the individual is most important
What does this political cartoon have to do with what we are learning?
The following modern quotes are more like Athens or Sparta? "All development is struggle" "Only force rules" "…all men are created equal…" "liberty and the pursuit of happiness…" "history has been determined by the principle of force and power" "governments derive their power from the consent of the governed" Two men are responsible for these quotes. One stressed equality and democracy. The other stressed totalitarianism…state before individual. House point challenge: who were they? What does this political cartoon have to do with what we are learning?
Let us jump ahead, from the Greeks to the Romans
We have seen how the ancient Greeks contributed to the development of WESTERN CIVILIZATION…Individualism, science, government, drama, architecture, art, philosophy, exploration, and innovation. The Romans contributed to the development of Western Civilization too… The center of this civilization was the city of Rome, in Italy.
Everyone wanted to be a Roman citizen!
The Romans set up a REPUBLIC …a form of government without a king or queen… the term "republic" is generally applied to a state where the government's political power depends solely on the consent of the people governed. The Roman republic grew to be a great power by conquering lands and then bringing the conquered peoples into its system Everyone wanted to be a Roman citizen! While the Greeks lived in small city-states, each governed by different laws, the Romans controlled an enormous amount of territory. House point challenge: What language did the Romans speak? What modern languages are derived from _ _ _ _ _? What did Romans use for toilet paper?
The Romans allowed conquered peoples to keep their cultures and traditions, but…they established one system of laws for the whole empire. Romans, like the Greeks, believed laws should be based on principles of Reason and Justice and should protect citizens and property. An example of a Roman law…see if you recognize it… "No one should suffer a penalty for what he thinks." House point challenge: what similarity can you see between this law and the first amendment to the US constitution? Here is another one… "in inflicting penalties, the age of the guilty party must be taken into account" NATURAL LAW Like the Greeks, the Romans believed the RULES OF NATURE could be discovered by careful observation …show me you understand by writing an example. The Romans also believed that all human beings were born alike and should all be subject to the same moral laws and principles Human laws SHOULD agree with natural law….that is…all people are born with certain natural rights that NO government can take away, or deny. Now give me examples of natural rights…
During Roman times a person was proud to say – "I am a Roman citizen" Roman citizenship was a kind of invisible shield of respect. It meant that the citizen was protected by the laws of the Roman Empire. Men and women could be citizens. Of course, only male citizens could hold public office…they were also expected to fight for Rome. The idea of "CITIZENSHIP", like many of our basic ideas of government, began with the ancient Greek city-states and the Roman Republic. When people had both rights and responsibilities in their communities, people became "citizens." As we will see in the next unit…American and French Revolutions…modern states developed and the term "citizen" became common again. All modern states –not just democratic ones- have citizens, though their rights and responsibilities vary. In general, citizens are expected to be loyal to the nation, obey its laws, pay taxes, and perhaps give military service. In return, the state is supposed to protect its citizens. House point challenge: With the other members of your house discuss the rights/things you have/receive from our government…and list them. Discuss, and list, the rights/things you think we should have, but don't.
The Judeo-Christian Tradition…
Ancient Greece and Rome are two sources of Western democratic ideals. A third source is the Judeo-Christian Tradition The ancient HEBREWS had, by about 1000 B.C. established the State of Israel…also know as Judea. They were the first people to believe in monotheism…the belief in one God. They set down their laws and traditions in a sacred book…The Bible, or The Torah….it is also known as The Old Testament. The Hebrews, or Jews as they would become known as…they came from Judea. They believed in one God, a God that is perfect, all-knowing, all powerful, and eternal. Earlier peoples…like the Greeks and Romans…believed in many gods. The Hebrews/Jews believed that it was God's wish for people to live moral lives.
Hebrew alphabet… א ב ג ד ה וז ח ט י כך ל מם נן ס ע פף צץ ק ר ש ת
The Hebrew scriptures…the Bible…state that human beings are created in God's image.
This meant within each human being is a divine spark…soul…which gives everyone a dignity that cannot be taken away. For the Greeks and Romans human beings had dignity because they had the ability to reason. For the Hebrews, each person had dignity simply by being a child of God. The Hebrews believed that God had given humans moral freedom…the capacity to choose between good and evil. Therefore, each person was responsible for the choices he or she made. And that's why God gave the Hebrews the 10 Commandments…to live a moral life. The spiritual leaders of the Hebrews were the prophets…messengers of God. The prophets attacked war, oppression, and greed. The Hebrews believed all people have the right to be treated with justice and dignity. They believed that it is the responsibility of every person to denounce injustice and oppression and the community should assist the poor and unfortunate. The prophets held out the hope that life on earth could be improved, that poverty and injustice need not be accepted… And, every individual was capable of living to a high moral standard.
You shall not commit adultery.
Moses with the 10 Commandments. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal 3 examples The movie The sculpture
Jesus adopted much of the Prophets' moral outlook.
In the first century a Jewish Rabbi…teacher…named Jesus was traveling throughout Israel preaching. Israel had been conquered by the Romans and had become a province of Rome…no longer an independent state. The Romans changed the name of Israel to Palestine…after the Philistines, Israel's enemy. Jesus adopted much of the Prophets' moral outlook. Like them, he believed human beings were God's children and were judged according to high moral standards. Like them, he spoke out against injustice. Like them, he saw morality as the essence of Jewish faith… "..do unto others only what you would have done to yourself" The early Christians were Jews. Unlike the other sects of Jews, the Christians were evangelists…they wanted to spread their beliefs to all people. Christian missionaries worked throughout the Roman Empire to convert people to Christianity. And so, from the Judeo-Christian tradition there emerged several ideals that have been crucial to the shaping of a democratic outlook… The sacred worth of the individual The duty of the individual and of the community to combat oppression And the equality of people before God.

It also signaled that Steele is back on target. Not just after a short January shooting slump so much as the year-ago knee injury that threatened to derail his whole college career.
"I think I'm almost there," said Steele. "I think I'm 95% and I think it's really going to hit me around the SEC Tournament, I'll be 100%."
Don't try telling Commodores that the Knoxville native was less than full-go when he was shredding their defense with 5-of-8 outside accuracy, and in notorious Memorial Gymnasium at that. Talk about an efficient evening, Steele didn't attempt anything inside the arc; he cocked-and-fired only beyond the arc and five times was rewarded with three points, including that four-make-stretch just when Vanderbilt thought they had checked an early second-half State surge.
Feeling it, for sure.
"Truthfully every time I shot it, it felt like I was blacking out!" Steele said. "Just forget about this shot and shoot the next one. But it felt like every time I shot it was going in."
The performance reinforced why Coach Rick Stansbury picked up Steele as a late signee in 2009, after the Tennessee kid was released from his commitment to Auburn. "We've always said Jalen is the one guy that does something different on this team, he's capable of jumping up and making shots." Which Steele did at a 33% rate as a freshman before going down badly in a home game with LSU. Torn ligaments needed repair and a summer's recovery.
An entire summer, that is, and a little longer. "When I was back home and doing the exercises I was saying to myself man, I don't think I can do this. But I had to get back on the court." Yes, even if it was just to practice with the team as they prepared for the late summer European excursion. "Rehab is definitely harder than practice. Practice you have to learn stuff, rehab you have to go through pain!"
"When he was overseas he was frustrated because his knee was slowing down," forward Rodney Hood said. "But you can see his energy level getting better and better."
"He's not 100%," Stansbury agrees. "As long as he wears that brace it slows his lateral movement." Meaning Steele isn't as active, or for that matter confident, on defense as ought to be for a second-year SEC veteran. Stansbury has seen signs of pressing at times on the defensive end.
Steele agrees he has pressured himself much more than any coach or teammate would. "At times I was trying to drive and couldn't get that first step as quick as I could. It was frustrating, but I had to slow the game down in my head." Interestingly though, adapting to his repaired knee—and not to mention the rest of a body another year developed by regular weight work and conditioning—has let Steele see things from a 'slower' and thus smarter perspective as a sophomore.
"It actually feels like the game is easier now this year. The injury kind of set me back but I can see the floor more, and see what I can do and what I can't do."
Of course there is the one thing he always could do. In fact Steele is doing it even better this season than the last, hitting 37.0% percent of trey-tries so far. He has more makes this year, 34 in 20 games, than the 27 he had in 27 games as a rookie. Steele doesn't claim any credit for being that much of a better shooter this season. It's more that he is getting better shots.
"It really hasn't been a lot of change. The reason why I'm so open this year is because of Dee (Bost). The point guard has been getting into the lane and getting open, so I have to spot up and hit shots. Dee has given me more opportunities to make shots." At the same time Steele has gotten sharper in finding those openings. He's learned how to 'scoot over' as he puts it when Bost or Brian Bryant blow by and get into a gap left by departing defenders. It means he is there for the quick kick-out. "So they see me more," he said.
Then again teammates also are looking for Steele more. "That's what he does, he shoots," said Steele, no mean hand at the arc himself. "And it opens everything up for everybody else, they can't help as much off Jalen or trap as much. You can't leave him open."
Shooters have slumps of course and Steele's 0-of-5 afternoon against Alabama still stings. Coincidence or not, after that one Stansbury changed his guard lineup with Bryant getting the start. Steele handled it well and came off the bench to bury a pair of treys at Ole Miss. He was obviously that much more productive in relief at Nashville. Though, down the second half stretch and in overtime it was Bryant on the floor with a weary Bost as Stansbury opted for the best backcourt defense and rebounding guys.
Steele isn't sure right now where he fits into any rotations, even with the current absence of backup point guard Deville Smith for at least two games. Start or sub, "It's just a decision Coach made. So I sit on the bench and cheer my team on."
"I like that role that he's in," Stansbury said. "He's probably shot the ball better the last couple of games."
Wednesday night Steele gets to shoot at the home goals again. Writers may be asking his emotions about taking on the team against whom his freshman season ended early, but it isn't a story line meaning much to the man himself. He seems to care more about making up for losing that home game and getting a State win streak going.
"I mean, it's motivation to win a game this time. We've got to beat them this time. I don't think about it and let it get to me too much, I just go out and play hard and do my thing."
And everyone knows what that thing is.

Article Title
The popular account of an archaeological investigation of a War of 1812 cemetery in Ontario offers a fine example of the need to relay research results to our interested constituents. Popular reports should emphasize not only the scientific and historical value of archaeological resources, but also encourage public support for adequate preservation planning. Like politics, popular archaeological accounts are highly effective when they appeal to local constituents' interests.

Democrats Ask Drug Policy Office to Do More to Combat Opioid Epidemic
Twenty Democratic senators are asking the Office of National Drug Control Policy to do more to combat the opioid epidemic, according to the Associated Press.
Get personalized support for your family
The nation's three largest tobacco companies have gone to court with a bid to block New York City from requiring retailers to post graphic images of smoking-related health problems wherever cigarettes are sold, the Associated Press reported June 5.
Philip Morris, R.J. Reynolds and Lorillard — along with groups representing convenience stores and gas stations — claim the requirement violates their First Amendment rights.
The posters, distributed to about 11,500 tobacco-sellers, include images of rotting teeth and x-rays of damaged brains and lungs. Some retailers complained that customers were turned off by the pictures and left without making any purchases. Tobacco firms said only the federal government should have the power to regulate tobacco sales.
"The mandated placement of the signs ensures that every customer, including the majority who are shopping for food … is forced to look at unappetizing images of diseased body parts," according to lawyers representing the tobacco industry.
Massachusetts officials are considering a similar program and are watching the New York case closely. "Point-of-purchase warnings are one of the best tools we have to keep the next generation of New Yorkers from becoming addicted. By trying to suppress this educational campaign, the tobacco industry is signaling its desire to keep kids in the dark," according to a statement from the New York City Health Department.

Hillary – Hottie in a Cougar print Bra, Bonus Shoot
Released: June 6, 2014
I think you guys have waited long enough. Here is the bonus footage with this extremely sexy 48 year old cougar. She sucks, strokes and titty fucks my cock to get me really nice and turned on. Then she bends over the chair and I take her from behind. I didn't last much longer after that. Hearing her moan with pleasure and feeling her extremely tight pussy wrapped around my cock. Not to mention her perfect ass bouncing off my body… I had to cum. So she turned around and I got her face pretty good. Enjoy!

Random BSOD's when surfing and managing files
I am helping a friend who is having random freezes and BSOD's.
I have attached the collected dump files and perfmon report. Also included is a pic of the specific BSOD, and a screen dump of his system specs.
- x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? X64
- the original installed OS on the system? yes it is
- an OEM or full retail version? OEM
- What is the age of system (hardware)? Less than 12 months
- What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) Preinstalled
There seemed to be some indication of ATI involvement in the crashes, so I have tried updating the ATI drivers, but the problem continues - perhaps once a week the system will freeze, mouse pointer can still be moved but nothing can be clicked on. Eventually it restarts with the DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE BSOD.
We are not sure what drivers to tackle next, would love some input. If any more information is needed please let me know.
|My System Specs
|11 Jul 2012
Looks like 2 separate issues to me. Updating the graphics may have taken care of one, but the other appears to involve your Broadcom Bluetooth (btwampfl.sys)
Please update the Broadcom Bluetooth drivers for your system and see if that helps. To do this, please uninstall the current drivers before installing a fresh copy - that'll help to ensure that any corruption is removed prior to installing the new drivers.
I'm concerned as there wasn't a memory dump that listed the Broadcom Bluetooth driver - I had to find it in the WER section of MSINFO32. The concern is that there could be other problems - but let's fix this and see what happens.
|My System Specs
|16 Aug 2012
I must apologise for taking so long to post a reply in this thread. We were waiting for a new modem to turn up so that we could tackle that install as well as working on the driver issue.
Removed and reinstalled the Broadcom BT driver last week and all has been going well until today when after returning home, the computer was found with the same BSOD, Power State issue as before.
I had turned off the Driver Verifier last week as well so we may not have captured much more info.
Any suggestions on the way forward from here? I was thinking of going to the manufacturer's page for the particular model and downloading updated drivers for every bit of hardware, or even identifying each bit of hardware and getting the latest drivers from each manufacturer's reference drivers.
Alternatively, as it would seem to be a power management issue ie happens on idle timeout, I thought about getting my friend to put the computer to sleep manually when leaving it, or hibernating it when away using the power button.
|My System Specs
|16 Aug 2012
BSOD issues aren't always easy to fix. Sometimes the offending program exits before the crash occurs - so there's no evidence left behind.
Please zip up and upload the memory dumps (they're in C:\Windows\Minidump) for us to have a look at.
Just FYI - there are 3 things we look at when trying to solve BSOD's:
- 3rd party (non-Microsoft) drivers (most likely)
- hardware problems
- Windows problems (least likely)
We're still investigating 3rd party drivers - so please be patient.
We'll look at these memory dumps - and will compare them to the others that we found.
No need for Driver Verifier at this point - IMO it's only useful for certain kinds of crashes (although I will run it on anything as an act of desparation!).
|My System Specs
|21 Aug 2012
Attached is a zip of the minidumps.
Our plan is to see what you have to say about these, then we might consider a system restore back to factory defaults, then we're thinking it might be a hardware issue?
|My System Specs
|21 Aug 2012
You might have 2 separate problems here.
The August memory dump blames btwampfl.sys
The July memory dump blames btwampfl.sys and is a Driver Verifier enabled memory dump.
As such, the first step would be to replace your Broadcom Bluetooth drivers. To do this:
- uninstall the current Broadcom Bluetooth drivers from your system
- download a fresh copy from the PC Manufacturer's website
- install them and monitor for further BSOD's.
I note (in the memory dumps) that there have been some replacements of the Bluetooth drivers in the past (but not between July and August - where the problems currently have shown themselves). If replacing them this time doesn't work, then I'd have to wonder about a hardware problem with the Bluetooth device. Can you physically remove the Bluetooth device from the system in order to test it that way? Or, can you disable it in the BIOS?
The second issue may not be present, but I'll discuss it here anyway.
The previous memory dumps are from June and April 2012, and November 2011
The June and April memory dumps are STOP 0x116. Here's a troubleshooting guide for these kinds of errors: STOP 0x116: VIDEO_TDR_ERROR troubleshooting
The November 2011 error was a STOP 0x9F with the first argument being a 4. The dump appears to be corrupted and I couldn't massage any more info out of it (other than a driver list).
I'd suggest performing the Bluetooth driver replacement and then waiting for to see if BSOD's recur. If so, then try the STOP 0x116 steps. Zip up and upload all memory dumps as soon as you can - that way we'll be able to adjust our troubleshooting to fit the results.
The following is for information purposes only.3rd Party Drivers:
The following is for information purposes only. Any drivers in red should be updated.
|My System Specs
|28 Aug 2012
Touch wood but as my friend was reporting video freezes, and would often reboot the machine at the first sign of trouble, I figured the freezes might relate to the ATI card (am sure I've seen reference to it somewhere along the way). We had already done the BT drivers in the previous attempt.
The system has motherboard Intel graphics and also ATI graphics. I turned off the ATI graphics and forced it to use the Intel ones only, and touch wood, he hasn't had a crash yet. Not ideal but for his purposes it will work ok - he's not a gamer.
Also he has an extended warranty so if it doesn't work out we can always go that route.

As a symbol for potassium, it represents Latin kalium "potash." Slang meaning "one thousand dollars" is 1970s, from kilo-. As an indication of "strikeout" in baseball scorekeeping it dates from 1874, said to be from last letter of struck, perhaps because first letter already was being used as abbreviation for sacrifice. The invention of the scorecard symbols is attributed to U.S. newspaperman Henry Chadwick (1824-1908) of the old New York "Clipper."
Smith was the first striker, and went out on three strikes, which is recorded by the figure "1" for the first out, and the letter K to indicate how put out, K being the last letter of the word "struck." The letter K is used in this instance as being easier to remember in connection with the word struck than S, the first letter, would be.
