Blue Screen of Death in Win XP Pro!! Help!!

#1 Post by ambientscape » Sat Mar 05, 2005 2:36 pm

I have this blue screen thingy sometimes when I play some video files. I'm not sure what is that associated. Is there something wrong with my video software? I'm using Windvd 6 platinum. Even sometimes when I played it with media player would be the same.

In My Computer, right click and select Properties. Click on the Advanced tab and push Settings for Startup and Recovery. Unclick Automatic restart. That will allow you to capture the error code from the Blue Screen. Then go to http://aumha.org/kbestop.htm (or some like site) and key in the error code to see if you can determine more precisely the cause. Sometimes the Microsoft knowledge base is also helpful. ...

Thank you...very much! But I guess I'll wait until the next blue screen occurs.
