    Are you overclocking at all? If so, your system might not be able to handle it. Tone the overclock down a bit or set it back to stock speeds.

    If you aren't overclocking, there might be other things in play. What exactly does the blue screen say?

    Only about 5 min after i on my notebook.... Yes i'am overclocking.. I'll try to lower it down... Anyways the blue screen does not say anything.. The screen is all blue.. but i've find a idea to get over it for awhile... i turn the sleep mode on by pressing the power button then start it back again.. Thats the only way i can get over this problem for now ...
