BSoD When Closing Laptop Screen
For whatever reason, I keep getting the BSoD if I put my laptop to sleep by closing the screen. Clicking the Sleep button on the menu works fine, but closing the screen messes everything up. I've had this happen multiple times now and I don't understand the problem. I'm not really knowledgeable enough to know what these minidump files or whatever are and I can't do anything. Safe mode doesn't work, rebooting doesn't work, nothing. I can put in a disc, but I can't access it since I can't boot the computer. It just says "Error 8888883333333 Contact Vendor." I have no idea what that means, but I need this thing to work. I have a presentation on Tuesday and if this happens I'm screwed (I have my work backed up but the people at my job are total dicks and say it has to be on my machine or it counts as being unprepared. How does closing the screen cause the system to crash like this?
