Hi all,
I'm new to the board, but I could really use some help!
I get the following error message approximately 1 out of 5 times I start my computer:
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen

It started happening about 2 months ago. I haven't installed any new hardware since I got the machine. I don't know if I installed any new software around the time this problem started. One thing to mention is that I had to send it back to the HP about a month before the BSOD because it had a power supply issue that they resolved.
To deal with the BSOD, would it help to do a System Restore to, say, 3 months ago? If I do that, will I lose all of the files I've created since then (e.g. Word docs)? Or is there something else I should do? I'm confused about why this only happens sometimes, not every time.
Thanks for your help -- I'm a grad student who needs this laptop to do my work. Without it, I'm screwed, so the BSOD is TERRIFYING to me.
Thanks!
