Any very clever, technical people here who can advise me on how to deal with crash dump, that goes to blue screen? I think Windows have something to download that de-bugs the system. I'm in safe mode, so can't operate with sound. Thank you. |

I assume we're talking about windows 7 or 8? Did you change any hardware recently (update a driver)? A bad driver can cause a bluescreen. If nothing has changed recently you might try running memtest86+ from a bootable DVD or USB stick on your system overnight. If it can do that then that would indicate your hardware is ok. I like this site a lot: http://www.howtogeek.com/163452/everyth ... -of-death/ (just avoid clicking on the ads there). |

By the way, I've been told that it is advisable to avoid Windows 8. I haven't updated a driver, not unless it does it automatically without me knowing. Have been getting the blue screen for a long time; just haven't done anything about it. |

I agree on avoiding windows 8. As far as I know drivers are never updated automatically by windows update. Make a bootable memtest86+ usb stick or dvd by grabbing the pre-made files or iso from here: http://www.memtest.org/ Run that overnight. |
