The dreaded blue screen
 

So about 5 minutes ago i got the good old blue screen error, so my PC restarted itself then about 2- 3 minutes later it blue screened again.

Lately it has randomly blue screened about 3 or 4 times a month.

I am using Vista 32bit home premium. Here's the windows error report;

Does anyone know why this could be happening? Thank you.

Could be anything from memory to graphics card

Next time the blue screen appears, please be sure to write down the entire STOP Code.

It will help greatly it finding out exactly what is causing the problem.

For example it will say STOP: 0x0000000A (please ignore the code in the brackets, the thing that counts is the code before the brackets start).

Hi, the other thing you can try is to run recovery console from your os setup disk and run chkdsk /r and this will check all files to see if any are corrupt or bad as I have fixed 9 out of 10 blue screens this way because its normally just an odd file thats become corrupt and unstable, let me know if that helps.

How do i do this in Vista?

Hi this tells you how to use Vista SFC (system file checker) which checks system files for any corrupt or damaged files http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2231/..._file_checker/ abit like recovery console and you might need your vista dvd/cd but if you have bought your computer with it preinstalled and given a Recovery or Restoration disc then they might not work but give it a go, hope this helps.
