Been getting this awhile now, randomly goes BSOD with 'Sytem Halted - Contact Hardware Manufacter' Doesnt give no error code or anything? Look on the EventLog and only thing i can seem to find is "The previous system shutdown at 00:24:47 on 10/07/2008 was unexpected." Other than that i seem to gt this error before it shuts down "The print spooler failed to reopen an existing printer connection because it could not read the configuration information from the registry key S-1-5-18\Printers\Connections. The print spooler could not open the registry key. This can occur if the registry key is corrupt or missing, or if the registry recently became unavailable." which is funny because i dont have any printers, Lol.
 
Right click on "My Computer" and go to "Manage". When the windows opens up, click the + next to "Services and Applications", then click "Services". Scroll down the list to "Print Spooler" and right click on it and select properties. Change the start-up type to "Disabled", then press the "Stop" button and click "OK".

See if that helps.
 
No still got them, only other error i'm geting is;

"The Parallel port driver service failed to start due to the following error:
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it."

which i dont think is causing it, I've cleaned out the insides of my PC because it was a dustball around the CPU with some canned air, but other than that it gives me no reason to why it BSOD, not sure what to do now X_X
