    So i got my Dv6500t (VISTA HOME PREMIUM) and did a clean install on it. its been fine for the first few times when i boot the computer. but just recently a blue screen occured.... this is what happens...

    1) i push the power button to start up
    2) it boots all the way through to the log in password input.
    3) i type my password and i get logged in
    4) after 30 seconds of doing whatever it is that i do, i get blue screen...

    the problem is that there is so much text on that blue screen that i dont have the time to read it all before it AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS MY COMPUTER DOWN. i dont know when it will occur again and i dont even remember what it says...

    its just a blue screen... with a buhcn of white text. it give me about 10 seconds and then it shut my computer down!!!

    when it boots up again, everything is fine. i get this message....

    I am new here, and not sure if this is allowed but uploaded the dump files for us to look at would be very helpful to troubleshoot this.

    Dump files are used with windebug tool to figure out what cause a crash on windows

    I had and now have this same problem with XP. It happens after the laptop has been idle for a while. It's not ram, at least in my case. I have this problem usually after installing XP. The first time I had this problem I did something to make it go away. Now I don't remember what I did. If any body has a solution, please post. Thanks.

    If the Microsoft Knowledge base thinks it has something to do with the RAM, try downloading and running MemTest86 (That is, if you can even get the machine up and running). If you get ANY errors, you have bad RAM.


    Either that or you just need to reinstall windows. Have you tried running it in Safe Mode?
