BSODs ... x 2

[Pellegro]

I've gotten 2 BSODs tonite between 6:45 and 7:10pm EST.

Nothing changed on my end.

I hope its random, as I've had maybe 2 other BSODs in 2 years of playing.

I will post more if it keeps up.

Is this in XP? I've most often seen BSOD in XP when the hard drive is having problems (bad sectors and such). It could be other things but this the most common....to me. Check it for errors (in Disk Management) and then run a defrag. If this reveals nothing then it probably isn't a HD problem and you can focus on other issues.

If you do get more please also post the actual BSOD error, thanks!

I was getting frequent BSODs lately, thought my computer had died.

Then I realised - it was overheating, because one of my speakers was blocking the fan's air outlet. /der.

No BSOD since :-)

See if, just on the off chance, it's something as simple as that. Then try the scandisk stuff suggested above.
