Sorry to burst your bubble. I was researching the terrible lyrics used by rapper B.O.B. and when I go to his website, my computer gets a BSOD, "every single time" without exception. Not happening anywhere else, just his website and it happens immediately as firefox is loading the page after I click the link from the google search page.

My bubble's intact. It's only software on your machine that can cause a BSOD. There's something about that site that is causing software on you machine to misbehave. It all comes back to software on your machine - be it malware, the browser, addons in the browser or what not.

hi there Leo,

my laptop has also been getting the BSOD,

and only ever while on MySpace.

Could it be that one has to save your

input into the Blog often?

(I know you said that it could not

be MySpace, but I wonder).

Yours sincerely

I used Ji,'s advice, and it may have worked. I saw that the minimum VM was set to 16, and the max was set to a little over 2,300. The recommended was over 3,000. I did as suggested, and changed the minumum to 2,300 and the max to 6,000. I sure hope this works, and if it doesn't I'd need immediate help, before resorting to a new hard drive, etc. Thank you for your help so far. :D

I had the same exact problem with my 3 month old HP with Vista Home Premium. The problem turned out to be the virtual memory settings. It's an easy fix, just increase the size of your virtual memory.
My new computer wasn�t even set to the recommended settings; once I re-set it I had no problems.
Start>Computer>System Properties>Advanced System Settings>
You�ll need permission to go on, click continue...
Click �Settings� in Performance...
Click �Advanced�...
Click Change...
Click the �custom size� radio button...
I set �initial� size to 2300 MB or (300 over your amount of RAM),
I set �maximum� to 6000 MB or about (3 X your amount of Ram).

That should do it.

This might seem stupid, but the problem might exist _because_ you have all new programs, not _despite_ it. New programs are prone to higher hardware resource usage. If, together with that, your wife opens a flashy, cool website, the hardware gets even more worked out. The result is a simple overheating, which makes the system go crazy.
Dusting and vacuum cleaning the insides of your computer might help, though...

For Brian -- To stop your computer from rebooting automatically after a BSOD happens, do the following: Right click on My Computer and choose Properties; click the Advanced Tab; under Startup and Recovery, click the Settings button; then under System Failure, uncheck Automatic Restart (I'm doing this from memory, hopefully it's correct. If not, post again and I'll go and look at my XP machine - I'm on Vista right now).

Re: Blue Screen of Death

I got those a lot; couldn't figure out the problem! Finally hard drive went bad without any other warning; laptop on warranty and hard drive replaced--computer great now.

I have had a few BSOD's but in each case the blue screen has come up & gone that fast it is impossible to read, much less take down the details. The system then shuts down & restarts.
How do I make it slow down.
