Help please

I wonder if anyone can help me.My netbook is going a bit funny.Whenever I open Mozilla, the screen goes blue and the writing goes really small and then the computer restarts.I have run my antivirus (avast) and it can't find any viruses.The funny thing is windows security keeps coming up with a message that I don't have an antivirus on my pc while I have!I have restarted the pc many times but it gives me the same problem.Can anyone shed any light please?thanks very much:beer:

  • Go Into Control Panel/System/System Properties/Start Up and recovery then un tick Automatic restart. Then the blue screen will stay there and you can note the message and code. Then post that here. Also tell us which version of Windows have you got

    Hi ,
    Which Antivirus have you got (ignore that it's avast)?
    Do you have a home group/ shared disks in the home network ?
    Which Netbook and how much memory has it got ?
