    Not always but sometimes after switching between users (My wife's account and mine) on my M1530 with Vista 32, I may get a BSOD. I do not log-off one user I just switch between them. It can also happen when I go to shut down too (after switching between users).

    Is this normal for Vista?

    Well, blue screens are almost always driver related. it could be any hardware driver. If you note the stop codes in the blue
    screen you may be able to google them and come up with a clue.

    I do know that I can switch users on my Vista without any problem. :D

    Thanks mate. Ya those stop codes are there I should have my camera ready so I can record them... otherwise I'll never be able to remember that string of numbers before the machine restarts.

    Some programs you can only have one instance open

    If two instances are open (eg switching users) it will crash and BSOD. Figure out which program is causing it.

    I know rmclock/rivatuner x64 and other programs will crash if you open it twice. Its happened to me before.
