Computer Problem?

Q: HELP! When I was working on my computer, a blue screen all of a sudden appeared and said something about a crash dump and restarted my computer. Now it starts to do this again about ten minutes after I log into my account again. Any solutions?

A: You are experiencing the "Blue Screen of Death", which is officially termed a "STOP error". Don't worry - your computer isn't dead, all of your files are still there. Please tell us what the blue screen says (IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO, etc) - each blue screen error is different. Whether it be caused by a virus, an overheating processor, or bad drivers, the exact error message can give us clues as to what the problem is. We don't need to know that it says "Dumping memory" - every STOP error says that.
