Hi boxey, Improper shutdown may lead to blue screens and if the computer is working you need have to worry. However, you may check for error code or error message listed in event viewer, you may refer the below link: How to view and manage event logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308427 Regards:Samhrutha G S - Microsoft Support.Visit our Microsoft Answers Feedback Forum and let us know what you think.
