The blue screen of death

One morning Jack sent me an email which I read in bed, saying: "I'm sorry but this morning I found your computer had the blue screen of death. I don't know what's wrong with it and what caused it."

I was like, great, so it begins my journey with a clunky PC. I know once you start getting it, you'll get it often, and sometimes you have to get your hard disk replaced or even replace the whole machine.

If you don't know what it is, then you are lucky. It's just when your Windows computer all of a sudden crashed, and it shows a blue screen with some text on the screen saying something like this: there is something wrong with the computer, it could be caused by newly installed hardware or software, but it didn't know the cause. You can restart the computer from safe mode, and figure out what the problem is. What is the safe mode anyway?

Since that first time, I have had the blue screen of death 2 other times within weeks. I think leaving the machine on over night with Eclipse, Lotus notes, Lotus Symphony and Microsoft Excel running is not a good idea.
