I got the blue screen of death today. Would anyone be able to give me some solutions of how to make my computer work again.  Or is it something I have to send into the computer manufacturer to have fixed?

I don't understand it was working fine last night then I turned the computer on today and a lot of lines appeared like a graphic card problem, then the computer went to a blue screen and showed a memory error and dumping.  I tried booting up in safe mode and it still showed the colored lines across the screen and I installed previous drivers for the video card. 

Did my computer just die?  Thank you for the tips....

before or after windows loads? If before, it could be a definite hardware flaw, if after, its possibly a software flaw.

Try another video card.

Try one stick of ram at a time.

Try reversing anything you did the day it died.

Get better advice



Good luck.
