OK..so im not really sure whats happening, but once in a while, maybe 2 times a week, a blue screen will come up, taking up the whole screen, saying a hardware or something has been stuck in an infinite loop. If this is the first time you have seen this reboot your system. If you have seen this more than once please contact your system tech or somethhing...do you know how to fix it?

    More details plz. Such as, what OS are you running, how much RAM you have, what you've been doing, programs recently installed, etc.

    what you've been doing
    With your computer, that is!

    Seriously, we need all that information for context.

    Next time it happens, write down what hardware it's referring to. We don't need all the info on the BSOD (that's blue screen of death for you), just the first couple lines at the top. All the other stuff that looks like 0x084549q and so on we don't need.

    Or a clear-enough-to-read picture of the error using a digi-cam if you have one available.

    I was going to suggest the same thing, that's a very good idea actually.

    Im not sure if this has anything to do with it, but this error screen just came up saying my nvidea driver had failed, and to save my work. then the screen became unreadable. Could this mean i need to upgrade some software?
    by the way, im still waiting for the blue error screen to happen, then i will ttake a picture of it...thanks!
