1. I've never seen a blue screen which didn't have something written on it. Are you saying that yours doesn't?
2. The word computer isn't descriptive in the least.
Please note that just above the text editor (where you enter a question on the forum) is the following paragraph, and if certain information is not present in your question, our reply may not be of much help:
Tip: If you are asking for help to troubleshoot a computer-related problem, please be sure to include all the necessary information (ie: operating system, model number, hardware, software, etc) that will help others identify your problem for a speedy resolution.
3. In order for us to analyze a potential problem and offer tips, we must rely only on the question content to attempt a qualifying response. A question should state the exact system error(s) - spelled, spaced, and capitalized just as it is shown on the display. Helpful perhaps is the window title in the colored bar of the report and any information when provided by a "Details" section also.
4. Most error messages:
? usually list and describe standard default error messages - written within the program code and generally recognized by most "Gurus"
==and==
? the troubleshooting techniques may be published and explained in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (MSKB) library for the Windows operating systems, and may be searched for with accurately reported information.
5. Correct and complete information is vital if informative help and answers are what you seek. You want that Guru who reads your plea to understand the question, to possibly know the answer, and to reply giving you their assistance.
I got this old computer that I hook up every once in a while and it will work fine for months and then all of a sudden I get this blue screen. I'll have to turn it off and restart and everything is okay for several more months. It's not really worth fixing, but I am just curious as to what exactly causes a blue screen. What is going on with the computer? Why the blue screen instead of that little message "Hey you just experienced a serious error" or something like that? Thank you.
