    Hi...

    Long time no chat here...

    I have just purchased a 24in LED screen running HDMI from the M17x.

    Prior to this the computer had blue screened maybe 3 or 4 times all up since I got it.

    Now it's doing it twice or three times a week.

    Today was the 6th time.

    My assumption (being the only thing that's changed) is running the HDMI to the screen is causing some issues somewhere.

    But, I can see no way around this.

    I do have a small VGA cable, but I can't seem to make that work on the 24in screen.

    Is it even possible that the use of HDMI is causing the blue screen or is there possibly some other underlying problem?

    What information would you like to know to help solve this problem?

    Thanks heaps in advance....

    Zip and upload your dump files from C:\Windows\Minidump\ and I'll analyze them for you. That way we can narrow down the type of stop error and the cause.
