PostPosted:Wed Oct 31, 2007 12:42 pm
Thankfully the days of these are far between now, however hardware failure and bad 3rd party drivers / software are still a part of life and as a result there is the occasional BSOD / STOP error which may occur as a result of these…
However often we see aload of garbage on the screen usually the error message and code however is a good indication of what has gone wrong.
The following site provides a very good help to showing you what the problem is or stems from and perhaps offers advice on corrective procedure.

I can honestly say its been years since I had BSOD but Melissa had one on her machine which was down to a bad driver well actually a device not being plugged in properly
And at work an old laptop user had a hard drive go.. the site was very useful in determining this.

Any advice given is not intent on attacking anyone’s personal investment or attacking a platform for the sake of it. I am merely trying to offer advice/ help and not get a knee jerk precious reaction to commence bitching about alternative competitors.
I am not posting this as indication to any fault or reason to specify otherwise why an alternative platform would be better, even if it does come complete with a pin up calendar of Steve Jobs.
I am not involved or part of any religious cult or faction related to computer hardware and technology. My views help or aid are carried out independently and will try give portray an unbiased opinion.
I do not accept any responsibility for any tears shed or tantrums which may have been caused by conflicting views on this subject especially if it one in denial.
Yes I did feel the need to say all that
