help this n00b
i don't know if anybody here knows about the blue screen of death, but if you do i need your help. every so often (mostly after ten minutes of having my computer on) my computer shoots up the blue screen of death. it's really frustrating trying to type shit up for school and my computer has this random crash dump. i don't have the windows vista download that my computer came with and if i do a system recovery it won't help because it will only recover back so far. i think about a week or two. this has been occurring for over two months.
any information on how to rid my computer of this blue beast would be nice.
even if you tell me that i'm pretty much screwed and there is nothing i could do, it would be nice. but be honest.
Looks like Spunck's life is dull and pointless.

Might help, haven't read it.
Dan do you remember the time you created a new account called the Bathroom just so I would ask the Cujo question?
dude. I just cut and pasted that into a word doc and printed it. It's an inspiration. You better write a novel this year.
I read everything Nightrious writes. Everything. Even his PM's*!
* This is a joke. I can't really read your PMs.

mine gets pink and swollen quite often.
And all this time I thought it was real.

there should be an error code when you get the blue screen. write that down then when the computer restarts type it into google. It will at least give you somewhere to start.
You can also look in the "event viewer" and see what error codes you can find there. Typically when you blue screen you should have some errors listed in the "system" section.
dude. i thought it read "orange clock" the first time through. i blame anthony burgess.
as for spunk's plight: after taking kirk's advice: being that you no longer have the os software disc, what i would do is get rid of all of my software and clear out completely my start up menue and go through all of my folders. i mean, take it to the bare bone. (also, first a virus scan) and go back to your most basic software os. and see if you still have the problem. you can always re-get word and wordweb, et cetera, but first isolate that the problem doesnt originate from the programs on your system.
first first.. kirk's words. that doesnt work, then a virus scan. that doesnt work, go down to skeletal. that doesnt work, look for another os and reformat the thing.
or deal with blue screen now and again.

There's a good chance that this dude's cock has an orangish tint.
Pic came out the wrong size, sorry if it's 2 big.
i say just backup your shit, ditch microsoft and install ubuntu (http://www.ubuntu.com/), especially since you don't have your installation disk. usually the BSoD happens because of missing or corrupt dlls and they're a pain to fix if you don't have the disk. if you kept your license, try torrenting a copy of the software and just install using your key.
double-check that your drivers would work with ubuntu though but the forums are really informative and every iteration is getting more and more complete.
you have a bunch of free open source software available (openoffice vs microsoft office, gimp vs photoshop, etc) on it.
more of the features that could probably sway you: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/810features/
oh, and it's free.
thanks you guys, i'll try these tips out as soon as possible

Man my husband still has this problem. He has formatted it a few different times and re-installed all the drivers.. Still no fix. But hopefully when we take it to best buy with our warranty it will turn out to be a hardware problem in stead of soft ware. I guess that doesn't help. Sorry.

There is no blue screen. Your computer isn't even hooked up to the internet and there is. No. Nightrious. What you see isn't limited to what exists. You sit in a cabin with your mangy hair in a rural environment and the telephone poles running down your street are wireless. The blue screen is an epileptic seizure. You sit there chewing on your sweater sleeves and making this all up -Nightrious, Jane, Nathaniel Parker. I regret to inform you: There is no Frank, Drankinly funky or otherwise. You are the one shining fiend in the night, the biggest fiend of them all, and there is no Cujo, there is no dumpster diving renegade chat moderator. There is no giant orange cock. You've created it all, and your cerebral stress levels are off the charts because you are living a lie.
