Answer 2

Did you add any programs or deleted programs befoer this started?

Have you treid F8 Safe Mode when starting up, you can ran scandisk/defrag from there.

What are your settings set at in start, control panel, Appearance/Themes, Display? You might be able to change some settings.

If all else fales, try Start, Help & Support, type in your question there and it will search your computer/internet for a answer.

Blue screen of death means that you gotta re-install windows from square one. Immediately after install and internet setup. Go right to windows update and download EVERYTHING. But before you get started, I'd put any info you want to save on a thumb drive to reload later. (hint, this excludes media files)

Answer 4

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