My computer keeps rebooting...

[Outcasted]

... everytime I click play on the launchpad. And just before it reboots, a blue screen with all kinds of info pops up for a sec and then my pc reboots. Is there a way to fix this? I allowed everything that's SWG to go through my firewall, but I guess that didn't fix it. Can ya'll help?

This is what is know as a "Blue Screen of Death".

It usually happens when you have some hardware fault with your PC, in my experience, usually with memory.

If you can, take a photo or note of the text that appears with the blue screen and post it here, I should be able to figure out what kind of problem you have from that.

I couldn't get a picture, my camera would not get the words clear enough. I copied this off of wikipedia, but still not sure if it came out either. Basically, it says software is not capadable with this new instalation and that I should turn of the "shadowing" of my BIOS. I hope this image comes out right. Also, I remeber it saying at the top "NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL_TO"

Was it:

"Stop 0x0000000A Irql_Not_Less_or_Equal"

?

Nope, just Irql_Not_Less_or_Equal. No stop or any of those numbers in the beginning of it.

Which OS do you have, Windows XP? If so, which service pack?

Oi. So many ways.... I'll get started on it this weekend. I'll have friends over who know a few more things about PC's than I do. Tyvm, by the way.
