Title: intermitent blue screen of death
Post by: planze21 on October 16, 2012, 02:33:00 AM

Usually when I start up my pc for the first time in the morning, it either freezes, sounds an alarm at me or I get the blue screen of death.
I then force a shut down and reboot. After about the 3rd or 4th attempt, it turns on and works fine.

any clues??

thanks

It could be that you have bad memory. Try downloading, burning the cd from http://www.memtest86.com/, and testing the memory. Report back with the results.
