No error message--just a blue screen!

[topscribe]

Wierd. I'm going along just fine--doesn't matter where I am (application, Windows Explorer, whatever), and all the sudden the screen goes blue. No error messages, just turns blue. I reboot, and all is normal again--until the next time. I ran an up-to-date virus check--nothing. Any ideas?

I had a similar thing on a new PC. In my case it would just blue screen and then go into a continual reboot for anywhere from 2 to 7 times. After that it would be fine for hours or days at a time and then repeat the process. No rhyme or reason to when it did it. It turned out to be faulty memory.

Just a blue screen? I suspect your video board is going south, but an equally good possibility is RAM, which is easy enough to check:

Let them run overnight.
