Adding media, usually blank to my HP+- RW DL Lightscribe drive will cause a bluescreen of death to appear. It reads something like "The system shut itself off to keep from damaging itself." It is a pretty nice system Pentium 4 630, 1 gig of ram, and about 1 year old. It began doing this, the harddrive was reformatted, and it began doing it again. If you ask i currently have about 40gig free on my 200gb harddrive.

I have Vista on my C drive and XP on my F drive.
I want to switch between the two operating systems, as some of my programs do not work with the New Vista.
How do I do that. Everything is hooked up and working.

The hard drive in question is a Maxtor 80 GB. Without warning will not boot! I can see it in "My Computer", and it spins when power is applied.

I know many others have asked this question, and a lot of the answers sort of confirm my suspicions about it being the RAM, but i'd still like to get different opinions on it.

When I first built my computer it would turn on for a few seconds, and then shut off. I tried a few different things including buying a new power supply. It turned out to be that my RAM had been plugged into the wrong socket, (was on the left, needed to be in the center). Problem solved, right?

Wrong. Shortly after, it started to do the same thing, except it didn't shut off like before, but actually turned itself on after I had shut it off. This continued for about 1.5 years, and now to my current problem.

The computer shuts off now when I try to run certain programs, or turn off others (i.e. run updates in AVG antivirus or turn off Folding@home). Most of the time it just shuts off randomly. I think the problem has to do with RAM because the CPU isn't overheating, and because RAM was my first problem. Thanks.

I have an old Micron computer running Windows 98. It's 11 years old. When I try to put it in Standby, it goes to that state, but how do I bring it back? I tried clicking the mouse and pressing different keys on the keyboard, even CTRL+ALT+DEL. I always have to press the Reset button on the CPU to get it back, but is there any other way, or is the computer so old that it doesn't work anymore? It has 64MB of memory. I don't know if it ever worked before.
