I have a fairly new Dell laptop running Windows 7. Within the past week it has gone blue screen twice unexpectedly. I was only idly surfing online at the time, just reading news articles and nothing much else was running besides the browser.
I'm concerned because I don't know why it happened. Should I be worried that the hard drive or mother board or something might be conking out soon? I've only had the computer less than two years and in the past I never got blue screen on any of my computers before they were very old and nearing the end of their "lifetime" (at about 8 years old). Since I owned this computer it will occasionally pop up some message about "the diagnostic module stopped responding/working" after I hear the computer make a funny noise and click sound. The computer was purchased at WalMart.
This laptop just suddenly went to blue screen two times now in the past week, then automatically re-booted each time after flashing the blue screen message. The blue screen message flashed by too fast for me to see but then on re-boot there was this message on the desktop in a pop-up window:
