BSOD
Hi guys! I know this has probably been answered before, but I don't get too many chances to check out all of the forums.
About 3 weeks ago, the screen on my HP laptop (dv2715nr) stated flashing and going black. Thinking it may have been a screen saver issue, I turned THAT off. It didn't help. I still got the black screens. This persisted for a while. It finally stopped doing this after a week or so.
The last 3 days, the screen flickered once when I turn the computer on in the am before work. I just told my girlfriend about THAT issue tonight and she said it was news to her.
I just had the problem happen again about 1/2 an hour ago. The computer was fine, I was in Chrome surfing. I had to do something and left the computer...came back and the screen was black. I turned off the laptop with the on/off button. After a couple tries, the computer finally came on AFTER I turned it on and having to hit the ENTER key to get the computer to boot. There was a screen that said Windows encountered a problem. When I checked the details, it said I had the BSOD. Not having the BSOD issue in MANY MANY years, I wasn't aware this was a BSOD issue....the screen didn't turn blue!
Now that I am aware of what this is, I can now further pursue this.
Is there any way that I can pull up the error codes that windows showed me so I can check this out? I'm running Win7 RC.
Thanks!!!
Rick
