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.

Upload your BSOD and we will take a look.

Upload your BSOD and we will take a look.

Also fill up your system specs.

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.

[aahana86]

here is the BSOD report
Windows_NT6_BSOD_jcgriff2.rar - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download


my lappie has a 64 bit win 7

It would be easier for us if you uploaded the files with your post; but I will download them and take a look. File Share is a pain if one is not a subscriber

i m sorry i thought this would be better

I am sorry to say that you missed a number of files in your upload including the dump files and the heath report (perfmon report). You can try to run the program again; but also read this tutorial, follow the instructions and upload only the dump files. Include them with your post.

You can try to run the little program again later for the rest of the information.

actually the minidump folder is empty there are no files

 

[CarlTR6]

OK, that explains that. At the bottom of the first post in that second tutorial, there is guidance for making sure you computer is set up for minidumps. Look at the last screen shot in that post and make sure your computer is set up accordingly. That will make sure future BSOD's are captured.

If you can run the little program in the first tutorial again as well as run your system health report, we may be able to see some things from the files. Upload it with your next post and we will be happy to take a look.
