On the Blue screen write down the thing that is like this NOT_LESS_THAN_OR could be different words and down below STOP 0XOOOOOOO6D again the stop numbers will be different per issue. Sometimes it helpes to record the next set. To find them. Go to the Control Panel, Administrative Options and Event Viewer look in System and Software for the BSOD should have a RED icon next to it. You can hit the copy button and paste it here. You can google the stop code or search http://support.microsoft.com or let us do it. I also have a www.eventid.net paid account, which I can point you in the right direction there too. Thank you, Eric Vogel ~Windows Live!

I have bigger probs now<me crying and pulling my hairs out>! I'm getting the blue csreen of death,twice today in 2 hrs! Windows shut downs,and Dumps Physical memory,then WindowsXP page shows "Checking file systems" CHKDSK.... System recovering from serious errors,virtual memory problems,etc. All on a restored to dell out of the box empty pc. It is clean! Used space=7.31GB,Free Space=64.1GB.Been disc clean-up'ed,de-fraged,etc. Do you think because of 4(so far) Dell Restore(ctrl+F-11)...maybe I need a registry cleaner? I have no idea what to do. My Dell warranty is up on the 27th...and I think on the 28th it will just explode and that will be that. I hate this! Could my hard drive be going out? I did have 2 old school pc's before and both hd's died after about a month,and gave the same blue screens when they were dying. Any ideas?I really hate to call dell ... they just pass the buck back and forth between them an Microsoft,and I know they are thinking "User error!" Suzy
