My computer just randomly blue screened!

Post by SamuraiMegas »

I had minecraft open and firefox with a few tabs open including youtube. Then it crashed and i got a blue screen. It booted back up fine.
Edit; I had been on it for awhile, could it have been overheat?

That's a generic screen. Need to know the STOP code near the bottom to troubleshoot. It's the 0x0000000## code. If it happens again, note that code.

It only stayed on screen for 20 seconds or so, and i was silently losing my shit while sitting with my parents.

First thing is get rid of Norton, it acts as bad as Spyware at times. Make sure you reboot (hard reset) and run Spybot or whatever other utilities you have in your arsenal in Safe Mode after you download all the updates. Good luck.

My dad forced me to get the paid version of norton. I didn't want it, but I use it anyways. I noticed I had a shitload of cookies that were level 5 on SpyBot. Could the tons of them have anything to do with it?
