SYMPTOM #2: THE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH:
 Your system gives the dreaded BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH:
(you will recognize it - well heck, you will know it when you see it :)


BAD ADVICE: Use your system restore disks
This is bad advice as above. Best case it works and you lose all your data.
Worst case, it does not work and you lose all your data needlessly.

GOOD ADVICE: There are several things that will lead to the blue screen of death.
a) A messed up device driver - one that has been corrupted or is wrong for your system.
b) A failing hard drive - some critical file that used to be readable is no longer so.
c) Faulty memory or an overheating CPU or similar hardware issue.
d) A spyware or virus that has corrupted a system file.

Note - that in cases b or c, the system restore disks are GUARANTEED NOT to help you!

We can correct ANY of the above problems of course, and if your data can be saved (and under case (b) you may be in danger of losing some or all of it - we can do so!
