Blue screen of death means a critical system error. You'll probably need to reinstall your OS. If you want to back up your files, the best thing to do is to get a new cheap hard drive and install the new hard drive as your primary. Then, install your OS onto the new hard drive and make your old hard drive your IDE slave. You'll be able to access all your old files and not have to wipe them all. It's pretty fast too.

He's dead, Jim. You grab his tricorder and I'll get his wallet.
When you are ready to buy a new system, go to www.stupidcheapcomputers.net. I buy all of my stuff from them, and everything is Vista ready.
Microsoft is about to release its latest operating system, Vista, in January. It’s going to make all of these “bargain” computers nothing but JUNK as soon as it’s released. The reason that you are seeing so many cheap systems on the market right now is because a lot of them CAN’T RUN Vista and the merchants are trying to dump them as hard and fast as they can before Vista shows up and everyone learns what a piece of crap they were sold for $500 (or whatever).
Anyway, I bought a complete, new system from stupidcheapcomputers.net with a warranty for LESS than it would cost me to build it myself or order a custom one from the manufacturer. You can use my frequent buyer code: ATX926. That will get an additional 10% discount at checkout.
I have NEVER had any problems with anything that they have sold me and their customer service is outstanding. Those guys blow my mind.
Good luck!

Good day. Boot safe mode. Reboot computer and before u see the XP Logo with the blue blocks running across the screen, click F8 and chooze safe mode. Log on and try system restore. If u are able to get in, save all yur important files on a cd or USB Pen drive in case of the worse.
If system restore doesnt work, u need to reinstall windows. Laterz.

Emachines has been known to use faulty hardware to lower prices. I had an emachines for 5 years though before my power supply just stoped working, if you bought the computer a month ago you are probably still under warranty so you can probably send it in to have some hardware replaced

My computer got the "Blue Screen of Death", and then that's when I switched to Macs...I'm very glad I did!

pop the disc back in and choose the repair option after you put in your adminastrator password and get the prompt type in chkdsk /r and wait about an hour

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
