    I am sorry to tell you it looks very much like a virus mate! Run a virus scanner and scan your drives right away. I suggest posting this on the Windows 7 forum from technet!

    What makes you think this is a virus? The warning statement? If that's the case, it is just a message to be careful and not to open the files if a virus is suspected.

    Well, it looks like there was an unexpected shutdown. Restart the computer and see if it happens again.

    You can look at the files generated by the error to see if they contain any more information.

    Sir, he has Windows 7 not Vista! Likely not from the official release also! I really suspect it is a virus mate! Better run that virus scanner anyway to be on the safe side!

    I suggest you re-read the version number in his screenshot, since you seem to be misinformed. While you're at it, you might notice that he already has a virus scanner installed and running in the system tray.

    I highly doubt it's a virus. Like I said earlier, probably just a minor hiccup. I wouldn't worry too much unless it happens again.

    I've seen your posts popping up in a number of threads recently, and you always have the same response - it's a virus - without any reason to support that conclusion. With all due respect, you're beginning to resemble spam.

    Have you checked in the event logs to see if anything else got logged in there that might help shed some light on what caused the crash?

    Odds are, there was a driver that got corrupted/bad data from something, and caused the crash (probably a video-related driver since this happened when you closed the lid, although it could also have been a power-management-related driver as well).

    Were you running on battery or running on the A/C adapter at the time?

    That'll do it, alright. Glad the GPU doesn't appear to have suffered permanent damage.

    When I looked at the image file you'd attached, I noticed that the stop code (what's labelled as the "BCCode" in that image) is 0x0A (the "a" in the image is basically a very terse way of writing the hex value 0x0A). Those stop codes usually relate to some driver that tried to access memory it didn't have permission to access, or the like. There's a basic description of the 0x0A stop code here, along with some links to further study/diagnostic resources, just in case you're interested, or if it happens again.

    No worries - I originally came across it when I was getting a whole spate of BSODs on the old VAIO - turns out the driver for the netgear wireless adapter (the internal died about 2 years ago) doesn't play nice with some of the other stuff at startup, and will occasionally BSOD at boot.

    After that, I kept the link around 'cause it had a lot of good info on it. Sometimes it's a good thing to be a packrat! :D
