BSOD & Randon shut downs

UKflames · 14 May 2006 at 17:12

Help, i'm starting to get random shutdowns and BSOD whilst using IE, haven'texperienced it with anything else yet.

Most times the screen goes blank as though i've switched off but the fans etc are stil running in my box and i've also had a BSOD.

Any ideas? :confused:

Is it time for a reformat

I've ran scandisk and that came up blank, i've ran my AV and the usual spyware/adaware progs as well but has happened since.

Looks like i've worked it out, I think the missus was changing over to her log in without logging me off first (that old XP chestnut).

Thanks for your help
