Windows Error Reporting service has to be disabled for my computer to work--Why?

Yes, I followed the advice, although at that time, I had already figured out that the problem was not the video card but a problem with Windows Error Reporting Service. It still is. I uninstalled my video card and re-installed the drivers just in case, but that did nothing. As long as Windows Error reporting service is disabled my screen works. If it is enabled it doesn't work. As in, I cannot use the computer at all.

  To Sum UP:

1. I rebooted in safe mode.
2. I rebooted with minimal video--it still blinked.
3. I uninstalled and re-installed video card drivers, it still happens.
4. I ran Windows updates--it still happens.
5. I ran a check on every single Microsoft service--it only stops when Windows Error Reporting Service is turned off.

Hi Katie,

Thank you for the reply.

I would suggest you to follow the steps given below and check if it helps.

a) Press Windows Key + X Key, Click on Control Panel.

b) Click on Action Center, Click on Change Action Center settings.

c) Click Problem reporting settings,  at the bottom of the window.

d) Click on any option other than Select Never Check for solutions to turn it on and click OK.

Hope it helps.

I have to assume this is for windows 7 as none of these directions actually do anything. Also, how is turning it on/off different from disabling it--already been done.

The first line states : Tap or press Windows Key + R, type services, hit enter.

This does nothing in my computer--nothing happens. You type in "service" and the window closes. In Windows 8, you have to type msconfig, which can bring up a few tabs, one of which is services.

Also:  Find Windows error reporting service from the list of list of services >right click and then click on start.

This does nothing. I can right click the line that says Windows error reporting service, but nothing happens. Again, how is this different than the fact that disabling it****turns it off. Enabling it turns it on--blinking starts immediately and I can't use my computer.

Now, if I go into the task manager I can rt. click on the error reporting service. But again, none of the directions match.  None of the following list of directions is even an option. except for start.

 Find Windows error reporting service from the list of list of services >right click and then click on start.

c. Also run the service as automatic, please follow the steps below.

d. Right click on the Windows error reporting service from the list of services and then click on properties> there will be pop up screen > check for the startup type and select Automatic under drop down menu and apply the settings.
