Ok I was just browing the internet about 5mins ago when my screen goes blank and the computer starts up again then when i get to the desktop it says this (see attachment)



Could someone tell me what happend? Thanks

There should be a button to send the error report to Microsoft...

And it usually gives you advice...

Anyway, this is usually caused by your graphic driver.

Try updating it...

Also, can you tell us what things you were doing before that happened?
(example, listening to music from computer)

I had this also, for 3 times in a week or so, and I was getting worried my motherbord was messed up, but I never got it again and my computer works still perfectly, a year after the incident. So probably it's nothing to be worried about. Actually you should be glad: windows repaired it.....

you will notice these from time to time

its a result of corrupt data being loaded either into system memory or the video memory

the problem usually rights itself

but give me a list of the hardware components and what drivers for video and chipset you are using

When i got this i had a virus (dont mean to alarm you) it was a driver virus and caused my pc to crash

I then did a scan and found i had a virus called win32/parate and i have no idea what damage it does or how i got it.

ahhh these have nothing to do with the video card

if there was a problem with the video, the driver inf. name would be mentioned in the error report

typical display faults for nvidia send a message saying a serious error was found when using NV4_displ.inf

visit norton and scan the virus data base for information and removal techniques of viruses


also

right click on my computer

and hit properties

click the advanced tab

and click settings under the startup and recovery subsection

and untick automatically restart under system failure

this way if it ever happens again you can get the real technical infomation and not the crap the ms error reporter does

Ok I have scanned for virus/adware but nothing

I have truned off auto reboot on system faliure.

I guess I will just have to wait and see if it happens again.

if it does

take a not of what the first few lines say

ignore all the numbers and stuff just words that you can make out
