AWW$HEEET Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 I have a few users with Vista, who are all starting to get frequent blue screens of death (2-3 times a day). The common link between all these are, they were all hired around the same date, and computers came on the same purchase order, about exactly one year ago... Is there any reason you can think of, that would be causing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 i would guess memory or processor issue. call the manufacture and see if there is a recall or anything. if nothing else just warranty then out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 sounds like bum ram, run a mem-test. should I be the one that says macs are better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Mine was doing that a week or so ago for a couple of days when I was burning movies. Didn't matter which movie or which of my 3 drives I was using. Then it went away and hasn't done it since. I know a Windows update was done after that, but I didn't look to see if that was/wasn't the problem. At this point, I just need to get another hard drive to backup my Blu Ray files so I can format my RAID and go Windows 7 on it, as my other drive is full. You'd think over a Terabyte would be plenty of space, but somehow its not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excell Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 should I be the one that says macs are better? No they're not. If it's a hardware issue, Mac's are the exact same parts inside as any other computer. Vista does suck, but I agree with running a few hardware diagnostics. Hell the machines might have a full diagnostic partition on-board. Call your manufacturer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
