    My car is red, it sometimes doesn't start. It is 4 months old and I only use it to drive to and from work. Any help?

    You see the problem with that (and your) statement is that there is simply not enough information to provide any useful insight at all.

    Some things that might help:

    When do these blue screens happen? Is it always the same time or when running the same application?
    How many have you had?
    What is the exact error message that appears (don't abbreviate it)?

    Sorry if that post seems harsh, it's not intended to. I'm just tired and should really be working on a project for the office....

    check the other threads, do you get the blue screen after you open the laptop from sleep mode or after any prolonged time in sleep? do you have a dual core.
    if you said yes then chances are its the recent windows update.
    But more information would be great :)

    If all else fails then system restore to an earlier date.

    Edit judging by the sig- you do have have a T6600 and a 64-bit system so there is a rather high chance that its the new windows update thats giving you the headache

    I've been having the same problem, Blue screen of death every time i disconnect my Ipod from the computer or try to reinstall Itunes. I think it has to do with the new windows update like dave159 said.

    Same problem here, when I connect / disconnect my external numpad on my Studio 15. I don't usually make sports analogies, but... I guess Windows updates are like umpires in baseball. You don't notice them until they screw something up.

    There was an update for Vista last week that caused a lot of blue screens. Update KB973879, I think. Try booting in safe mode then go to "View Installed Updates" and uninstall it.
