BSOD
-
I just got a BSOD, first in ages. Interestingly, I was following a link and opened a page on the Knight Capital web site...
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

I don't think this is because of some virus attack ;) So , you don't have to worry much.. The possible reasons are.. 1) Site would have had a graphic content, executing which might have crashed your graphics driver. 2) Your antivirus program might have caused the crash. 3) Your browser might be the culprit, but that is highly unlikely.. Solution : 1) There are many online forums, post your query with "Crash dump" file 2) They will revert back with actual problem. 3) May be you have to update the driver. Cheers..:thumbsup:

I /think/ I might know how to handle a BSOD. It probably isn't going to be reproducible and so it goes down to experience. I just thought it funny that I went to KC's site and got a BSOD, they are probably unrelated but it is still amusing. Sorry if you thought I needed help.

Bit of an exaggeration. It was 440 million. Bad, but not as bad as 440 billion.

I know, read it often enough; "een half miljard", but since a month or so I keep swapping millions and billions. ..aw, even with it being a factor 1000 less, they still might collapse :)

Possibly thermal? The most common reaosn for blue screens I have seen in the recent years is a overheating graphcis card. Or crappy video driver. But that's almost a given.
