[dba-Tech] blue screen of death

[Bill Patten]

Susan,

You didn't mention the error code so I'm guessing that the code went away 
before you could read it. If that’s the case you can turn off the automatic 
restart feature so the error will stay on the screen

This URL tells you how to disable the auto start feature if you can boot, if 
not try  pushing F8 just prior to the splash screen and then select Advanced 
Boot Options and disable it there.

1.
Click on the Start button and then on Control Panel.

Tip: In a hurry? Type system in the search box after clicking Start. Choose 
System under the Control Panel heading in the list of results and then skip 
to Step 4.

2.
Click on the System and Security link.

Note: If you're viewing the Small icons or Large icons view of Control 
Panel, you won't see this link. Simply double-click on the System icon and 
proceed to Step 4.

3.
Click on the System link.

4.
In the task pane on the left, click the Advanced system settings link.

5.
Locate the Startup and Recovery section near the bottom of the window and 
click on the Settings button.

6.
In the Startup and Recovery window, locate and uncheck the check box next to 
Automatically restart.

7.
Click OK in the Startup and Recovery window.

8.
Click OK in the System Properties window.

9.
You can now close the System window.

10.
>From now on, when a problem causes a BSOD or another major error that halts 
the system, Windows 7 will not force a reboot. You'll have to reboot 
manually when an error appears.


HTH

Subject: [dba-Tech] blue screen of death

One of my laptops is experiencing the blue screen of death. I have no real
experience with this and was wondering if any of you are familiar with the
following site:

http://windowsanswers.net/articles/fix-blue-screen

I don't want to run something that might make things worse.

My first step is to download ccleaner and see if that remedies anything.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Susan H.
