    Most BSOD's are due to hardware issues and their drivers. So did you just add something or did you update some drivers lately? Does it stop at the screen so you can read the code or does it just reboot?

    Blue screen doesn't tell us much unless you tell us the stop code. If it stops, write down the code. It will be somethinig like STOP 0x0000008E.

    Hi,

    the only thing I can remember doing was updating my blackberry software,

    it seems to do it most when I take something out of my usb ports ..

    the error is stop 0x0000007E

    thanks

    There's a little box you check to remember the password on that little Enter Network Password box that pops up. If you've checked that and have the right password, it shouldn't bug you again.
