Blue Screen of Death!??!
My latop just came up with a blue screen saying something about crucial dump? I immediately shut it down and restarted, at first when it restarted I had black screen saying 'Operating System Not Found'.
We then started up again and everything was fine - immediately did a security scan and that's come up clean.
Was just searching on Google and it's apparently called the Blue Screen of Death? Has anyone head of this before?
Is there anything we can do to prevent this coming up again?
Only had the laptop 13 months.
Thanks!

The Blue Screen of Death, or BSoD, is just a phrase that has been "adopted" to refer to Microsoft's error screen.
If the problem doesn't come back, I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe you just had an intermittent or one-off failure. You'll never find it if it doesn't come back!I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the In My Home MoneySaving, Energy and Techie Stuff boards.

There are quite a few possible reasons, including intermittent hardware problems and out of date motherboard drivers. However, I've occasionally seen it following a Windows Update, and these often seem to just happen once.
If you get further occurrences, it may be worth looking online at Windows Update (or the laptop makers website, preferably) for driver updates.0 -
It mentioned on one of the sites that it has something to with the registry being corrupted? I don't know what any of that means but apprently you can download a registry cleaner? All of the sites that offered a download didn't look particularly legit so obviously wasn't going to download just anything....But apparently this is one of the worst errors that can come up??0

above is fine advice however try to use this scare to remind you to keep a back up of all important documents, external hard drive, DVD's or online storage are all good options (or a combination of), better to get into the habit of backing up because of a scare than not doing so and losing your data if something catastrophic does happenDrop a brand challenge
on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)0 -
Could be anything, backup using disk imaging software (macrium reflect free etc) to external hard disk in case it happens again!!
