I started receiving a blue screen out of the blue. I had not installed anything new nor done anything different. Formatted several times, worked for a while then started again. I tried changing out HD's and that worked for a little while now am back to blue screens. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to when is chooses to do this. It can go for a few mins, hours or days. Tried reseating cables on MB and DVD Rom's. Made sure everything was set correctly just to be sure and of course it was. Any ideas would be helpful. I'm running XP Pro SP3 IE 8AMD sempron processor 2800+ 1.60 GHz 2.00 GB RAM have a 40GB HD in right now did have a 120GB in but thought the HD was going out.Thanks1 person needs an answerI do too
