Blue Screen of Death - Is it really fatal?

I brought up the subject of the famous "Blue Screen of Death" in a large group today. And was amazed at the passionate answers I received. All were of great fear and trepidation.

Blue screens usually are not a complete loss. It is normally a driver problem or hardware beginning to fail. Here's 3 examples I've solved very recently:

1. If your hard drive is failing I would attach her hard drive to another PC an attempt to save your pics.
2. External drives cause this sometimes. Just unplug your external drive and see if the problem goes away.
3. This morning's case was a network driver. Just updating some software and problem solved.

Don't panic if you get the infamous blue screen. It's probably not fatal or tragic. Don't wipe your hard drive or do anything drastic. Call us and let us help.

Oh, and keep backups! You won't be sorry.

Sincerely,
Matt Porter
