Hey TechSpot Friends,
I need help with a difficult issue regarding my computer. Recently within the last six months I got a new Toshiba Laptop with 3GB of RAM and a 1.8GHz processor. But lately, I've been getting Blue Screen messages from Windows Vista when I open my computer to use it. This began happeneing to my desktop last year and I never could find the problem.
The Geek Squad guy said that I had 100's of viruses and trojans on my desktop which was causing the blue screens on my desktop. He coulsn't find any viruses until after he did extensive tests and I'm skeptical that there were any at all because I don't make it a practice of visiting shady or virus filled websites, just the usual college girl sites: Facebook, perezhilton, PostSecret, etc.
Anyway, I'm wondering if this is a problem being caused by Windows Vista. I meet the specs I believe for it and so did my desktop. Is it possible that this could be caused by Windows Vista? I scan my computer for viruses and stuff with AVG and it always comes back clean.
Also, I know that the blue screen is often referred to as the blue screen of death, but my computer seems fine, is it doing serious damage to it every time it happens? What can I do to help my computer? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
