maybe because you didn't have computer trouble that much or you haven't used them that much, i do not know exactly but i think it is an error of some kind. thanks for posting in the discussion.

yeah it is scary, after you get it most of the time you have to reinstall or refresh your computer. thanks for posting in the discussion.

i have had it a few times. it usually means you got an error, usually in the registry. get a copy of registry mehanic or something like that.

It can happen and happend to me very often with my old pc. I think the best thing to do is a complete back up of your data and have a check (and maybe an upgrade) of you pc.

Its error common in windows 98 and windows Me. One of the reasons was non-compatible RAM installed in the pc,and others were when we install some software or specially uninstalling them could cause you to see this blue screen,but nowadays there is no blue screen. You must use windows xp with sp2 for a safe computing. In winxp where there is some fatal error,Normally pc restarts automatically unless you changed the option,but that blue screen is quite enhanced not like you posted :P hope it helped you.

I've seen it many times. I've heard it often people will blame Windows for its instability. I try to back up all my important data and try to keep my operating system safe. Most people suggest using Linux, a relatively safe operating system. However it has some learning curve, and requires a great deal of technical knowledge.
