Hello everyone - I am a new member of the forum and hope that someone reading this might be able to help me with a problem I have with my computer.

When I start my computer a blue screen appear on my system and I could not start my computer
An error massage display on screen if you are displays its screen first time then restarts your computer
Some time my computer start and now after restarting my computer will not start

When this happens, I am unable to log off; the computer on/off button does not work when the screen freezes and I have to turn the computer off at the mains.


My computer runs on the Windows Vista operating system.

I changed from Internet Explorer browser 6 to 7 yesterday but the problem of the computer screen freezing persists.

Any helpful advice on this would be much appreciated

Hello tomherry! And

It could be a number of things depending on your detailed symptoms. Are you saying that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't?

Have you thought it might be an over heating problem? Does it boot when 'cold' but when you try and reboot once it has frozen you get the blue sceen?

Also, if you can get any information from the BSOD it would be appreciated.

It could be a problem with your RAM or your graphics card (if you have one).

Remove the side of your computer and see how hot things get. You can also use a free program called speedfan to check your temperature sensors, anything above 50 C could be an issue.

If you have more than one stick of RAM you could try and remove one and see if the BSOD still happens. Do this with every stick to see which may have been damaged.

Basically, there could be many reasons, but we need more information, so try the above and give as much detail as possible and I am sure we can find the problem even if we can't fix it

Not related to your problem but how were you running IE 6 when Vista comes with IE7 plus the make, model of system would help amount of ram installed etc. See if you can start in safe mode and find out if it driver related. Have you installed any thing new in the last week or so. See if you can get the exact error message. If you could get into the advanced setting under startup and recovery, you can remove the check automatically restart on errors and then you could get to see the error code. You could also look in the event viewer to see if any problems are listed or the reliability and performance logs if you are able to get on to the system. Check the other thing crabby suggested also and you will get your problem figured out
