Blue screen of death - is it OK? happymac.support[ at ]gmail.com 12.07.2007 23:06:22 Hi, Here are my specs: OSes: Windows XP Pro SP2 Motherboard: ASUS P5ND2-SLI Processor: Intel Pentium D 830 3.0GHz Hard Drive: 250GB SATA RAM: 2x 512MB DDR 667MHz Video Card: ATI Radeon X1300 PRO Optical Drive: Pioneer DVR-110D DVD-RW USB: 4x USB 2.0 Sound Card: 7.1 Channel Ethernet Adapter: Intel 10/100/100 Gigabit I was running a program called MediaPortal - www.team-mediaportal.com. Its a free open source media center similar to the the media center in Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. All of a sudden, while browsing the menus, I got the blue screen of death. I have never had the blue screen come up before. The blue screen is the same as this one: http://www.nilpo.com/pub/images/Windows_XP_BSOD.png However, I'm not sure if it was the same error code or file. I restarted the computer and ran MediaPortal again. It hasn't happened again so far. But, my question is: Is it a problem with my computer and is it screwed up, or is it a little bug in the software? Just so you know, there have been other reports of the blue screen of death coming up while using the program: http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/blue_screen-t8780.html?t=8780&highlight=blue+screen+of+death http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/total_system_crash_blue_screen_death-t9414.html?t=9414&highlight=blue+screen+of+death http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/blue_screen_total_restart-t7884.html Thanx

If it is not the same error code, same values in all 4 parameters, and the same file name then it is not the same error. Period. What are the details of your error code? Without that information it is impossible to give you any constructive suggestions. > >I restarted the computer and ran MediaPortal again. It hasn't happened >again so far.

Without the detailed error information it is impossible to say. Good luck Ron Martell Duncan B.C.

Most, including myself, check once or twice a day for new messages and then post replies to those where they can offer some constructive suggestions. You need to wait at least 24 hours (so that users from all parts of the world have had a chance to see your message) before getting exceited about the lack of responses.
