Tap Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 This morning I was on WTM boards and my computer was running fine. My battery died while on line, and when I plugged it back in, and turned it on, I got a blue screen with lots of words :D (hows that for descriptive) and it said that it couldn't "find my hard drive". It asked if I wanted to run a scan to diagnose the problem. I started to run the scan and instead just powered off my computer by holding down the power button. When I restarted again, everything came back up like nothing had happened, I signed in fine. It offered to restore my last session, I declined. I didn't navigate anywhere but instead ran a full scan with Trend Micro Intenet Security (the only one installed on my computer- is uptodate and current.) It didn't find any threats other than a few cookies. I restarted my computer and it has been working fine since. Here are my questions: Does this seem like a fluke or like a warning that something is going to crash? Is there another program I should run on my computer to make sure I don't have a nasty bug invading that Trend Micro missed? Do you have any other ideas? I have a Dell XPS laptop and run Vista.

4kiddies Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) No advice just wanted to say that mine does that all the time. I just run the scan and it's fine. Edited October 28, 2009 by 4kiddies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melinda in VT Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Ah, the blue screen of death. My Dell gives me this sometimes too. It's never been an indication of a serious problem. In the old days, PCs crashed like that all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicksMama-Zack's Mama Too Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 is "PC brain fart" -- ;) I truly believe that computers have them now and then. I've seen my share of them and none have been lethal. (Knocking on wood, crossing my fingers, throwing salt over left shoulder...)
