Blue screen of Death /Hardware malfunction

[kidslick]

good stuff

I woke this morning and noticed a solid blue screen and it said
hardware malfunction. I shut the computer off ,restarted it and everything seems fine


any ideas what the hell it was:modemman:

If the "Windows Hot Fix" (reboot) :lolBIG: fixed it, it was probably nothing. Perhaps something didn't load right at start up. You can check all your hardware by going

Start
Control Panel
Administrative tools
Computer Management
Device Manager


and make sure none have a red x or a yellow question mark beside them.

hmmmm I have three question marks under other devices

and I have X under one of my network adapters

(SIS 900 PCI FAST ETHERNET ADAPTER) I clicked on it it said device was disable

The other adapter is fine

(3com 3csoho fast ethernet adapter)



should I enable all of these ?

Go ahead & enable it, but that probably doesn't have anything to do with the blue screen.

It could be nothing, or the sign of a pending problem(potentially BAD one). If it's only happened once, I wouldn't sweat it.

I used to get that blue screen when my cpu overheated. I bought a new fan and the problem went away.
