    A blue screen is literally seeing a blue screen on your monitor, a warning, and you system has come to a halt. It's a critical error. Unaffectionately known as blue screen of death (bsod), it is usually due to a hardware, driver, or software problem or conflict.

    If you have a bsod, follow these directions:

    A bsod might look something like this:

    Have you installed new drivers..??
    Did you recently played with the Hardware??
    Check out if your internal hardware is plugged in correctly.
    or try replugging them firmly.

    no nothing new installed and i had the same error as the attachment made by lemur
    however after the crash i noticed - the space on my c drive is shown less by almost 12 gb !!

    previously it was free around 73.5 GB now its down to 59.4 - how the heck did this happen ??

    Upload your BSOD, afap.
    If you have a Desktop try to replace your Hard-Drive with another one which has a OS installed in it.

    Windows has taken the steps to protect your computer for you. A BSOD crash occurs because Windows detects a problem. Windows shuts the computer down to prevent damage to the components and records the event in a dump file.
