    Hey guy,

    I've had a blue screen error occur with my new compaq laptop (cq61 330sa) twice within the first two days. Unfortunately the computer restarted before I had a chance to read what the details.

    Is this something to be worried about? Its only 2 days since I received it, so, there shouldnt be any problems if I need to return it.

    Go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Startup and Recovery Settings -> Uncheck "Automatically Restart" and click OK. If it happens again you will be able to read the screen.

    I have found all of HP's Vista installs to be poorly done, so it's not necessarily a sign of worry. If it happens again, write down the codes and post them here, we'll try to help you fix it.
