Hi
You really should try ME forums,
but the prob could be anything!
You use the phrase "Randomly"
Are there any other indications?
There was a whole heap of critisim of ME upon it's release,
not that there was really anything wrong with it, just that it
didn't offer anything over the legendary 98, apart from the
first user experiance of a system restore feature, but it
required so much reconfiguring with drivers etc. And
software vendors were caught on the hop and failed to
provide the updates.
My first PC was 95 in it's final throes, within a year 98
was released - wow, what a revelation that was!
You will see the same "wow" factor when you progress to
XP, or maybe Vista?
The bottomline is that ME, though competent, was just a
stepping stone in MS operating system's evolvolution,
XP is the dogs bollocks (thats a Britism for....."wow").
ME maybe dates your pc, is there any other indications of
any other problems other than the "blue screen of death"?
This is just an example: Noticed that your system tray clock
is knackered? Or maybe every time you boot, it displays a
window that new hardware is detected and installs it?
This all could indicate that your CMOS battery is about to
meet it's spiritual maker. The CMOS battery powers a
specific aspect of the BIOS/Mobo memory that remembers
settings - Clock, HD configuration etc etc etc.
Anywayz, whatever, in ME, the "blue screen of death" is
too vague a symptom for anybody to diagnose, are there
any other problems? Error messages? Odd symptoms?
