Windows is blue-screening, but it gives me no error code.

[KarthXLR]

All it gives me is a black screen. It's happened about 3 times now I think. HALP!

Have you tried yelling at it?


Or giving us additional details?

Hardware specs, windows version, when it blue/black screens, recent changes, colour of your walls....


Cause I totally think yelling at it will fix the problem.

I don't know when it crashes, I just come in the room and it's unresponsive; I have to manually restart it.

Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Radeon HD 5870
i5 750
4 GB DDR3
MSI GD55-PD65 or something like that

Nothing? It just happened again.

this isn't really enough information to diagnose it.  It could be anything: bad drivers, overheating videocard, failing harddrive, overambitious clocking, etc etc etc.

This was happening to me for months after bulding my desktop, and it turned out that the default voltage my motherboard thought my ram needed was wrong.

do a mem test, a harddrive test, and a heavy performance test like prime95 and tell us what happens.  it'll give us more to work with.

[/quote]I'll have to find my memtest disc.

[zaneyard]

system rescue cd is your best friend

[demonspork]

if you can't find the memtest disk, just find "Windows Memory Diagnostic" in the start menu. does a basic memory check.

Might as well just pop in your Windows install CD and do a system repair.
If that doesn't fix it, you have a hardware problem.

Will I have to format?

No, a System Repair will revert the operating system back to a default state (you will have to reload updates) but all application and user enviro changes will be kept.
It is not a reinstall.

[Ianki]

i assume you fixed this, or it stopped on its own?

[Kirby]

Mine was doing this for about 3 weeks a few months ago, I would walk away, and when I came back it would be sitting at the desktop in fresh-boot state. Event Logger never said anything, and it just stopped on it's own?


I dunno.

[KarthXLR]

It's stopped doing it...for now. I'll go ahead and lock this thread until it does it again.
