Random BSOD then Restart
Argh...this is really frustrating....
Every now and then, whether I am gaming, browsing the net, etc. I get a blue screen of death, then my computer restarts itself. I can't pause the screen to see what it says, but I believe I saw something like "clearing physical memory...." after it restarts and goes back into windows, It sometimes asks me if I want to send an error report. I did this, then it brought me to a soultion page, where it told me it was a device driver problem, but it was unable to pinpoint the source. I reinstalled the new drivers for my video card, deleted a ton of crap I don't use any more, ran Adaware... didn't seem to help much. Tonight I'm going to try a defrag and virus check, I'll post if it finds anything. Do you guys and gals have any idea what could be causing this? Thanks so much. |

Copy down the error code/message you get on the BSOD and do a google search for it. It should lead you in the right direction to find out what's wrong.

I would, but it restarts too quick and I can;t read what it says. Any ideas on how to pause it? The Pause/Break button doesn't work.

Control panel, system, advanced, startup and recovery, uncheck restart on error.
