What is going on with my computer?

Accualy, it's Windows 2000. Sorry about that.

Are you still getting the problem? I suspect that you need to upgrade your audio drivers. Have you had this computer (meaning, have you had windows 2000 installed with this sound card) running for a while? Have you done any upgrades/updates lately?

My (somewhat inconvenient) suggestion is to disable your sound card (from device manager...right click my computer, properties, system, device manager) and see if the computer crashes again.

Win2K has the blue screen of death?

Doesn't blue screen a machine You'd get pop-up warnings anyway as it happens

Very useful you haven't mentioned which Windows this is either actually, could be 3.11 for all I know

Actually in 95 - 2000 you do get blue screened if you run out of memory because the RAM checking systems are crap.

And if you are using WIndows Media Player 8 this is a well known problem, usually occurs if theres a disc read error.

I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I solved my own problem! The bad news is My computer gave the BSoD when I wasn't even on the computer! It said "beginning loss of memory...." It was weird. I wish I didn't have to ask you so much but can PLEASE tell me how this happened, even with the very little info I've given you? When I was on the computer, it was fine but about 15 minutes later when I wanted to check my E-Mail it gave me the BSoD. All I did was sit down and there it is. I wanted to shoot my computer. :shoot:

back up everything, format the computer, reinstall windows, use windows update to update your drivers, install all your random peripherals manually, with updated drivers.

I got the blue screen of death randomly a lot months ago before it got brought into the shop at least 3 times. Turns out that the hardrive was old, I think,
