Windows keeps closing on its own?

Hi Guys,

My lappy keeps shutting down on its own and then I have to restart. Its not when I'm using it, only when I've left it on for a while. It says :
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3
Locale ID: 2057

Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: 9f
BCP1: 00000003
BCP2: 850FF560
BCP3: 8292CAE0
BCP4: 8503BBC0
OS Version: 6_1_7601
Service Pack: 1_0
Product: 768_1

What does this mean and what can I do to sort it??

Thanks

  • Difficult to pinpoint from that error message. I'd be inclined to back up all your documents, emails etc and then reinstall the operating system (if it came with a reinstall CD?). Then if the problem persists after clean install, it's a hardware issue - possibly heat related.

    Good luck!

    if no joy with that, maybe start looking at overheating issues :)

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D
  • aye, try non-rebuld solutions first like overheating issues (e.g. clean out dust from your fan and so forth).

    its windows 7, but what computer is it? some spec details may help others help you
