Blue Screen

**Eggs** · 05-11-2005, 10:01 PM

omg, I just had my first blue screen in at least a couple years. I thought that shit wasn't supposed to happen anymore. At least this time it was blue for a second, with a whole page of stuff I wanted to read but couldn't since it only gave me one second, then it rebooted my puter.

Do you guys still have blue screens? I got mine watching a DVD in InterVideo and trying to play an .mov in Media Player. Guess I know not to do that anymore.

Sooo, you guys still getting blue screens?

Nah, havent gotten the BSOD since win 98 first edition. I think it takes some skill to get one with XP =)

I've seen them a couple of times in XP. Stop Error 0x0000007

Yeh, I cant remember getting one in XP on a healthy machine.. but this one is just fine. Hrmm, goes to prove Windows still has some work. Though it is vastly improved from the old days.

Have any of you tried the 64bit XP? I wonder how fast it really is.

only matters if you have a 64 bit processor.

Hardly any faster at all, max 5 % overall. Hopefully it will get better once everything is set and the programmers get used to 64.

win 32 vs 64

I got one when i had widnows 98 drivers installed on a XP system.

Video drivers from NT4 and onward in the NT lineage aren't really protected form BSODing, I dont remember the name of the two modes offhand which is pretty stupid.

I've never tried to watch a DVD and something else at the same time, but who knows how Apple has their memory protection stuff setup and not being a developer I am completely out of date on what that possible issue might even be other than memory access violations, or maybe a hardware accelerator violation of some sort locking up the driver. You can look at the BSOD and try to decode it (fun fun fun I'm sure).

So when are you Tri-Lams gonna have another get together?

Damn, blue screen still happens? I was so afraid of those. This one day when I woke up and looked to the sky..

Whenever the Omega-Moos are in town.

I've gotten a BSOD on WinXP pulling a removable USB keychain drive out without going through the removable hardware wizard first.

BSOD.

Blue Screen of Death?

I got a blue screen twice on XP, can't remember what I was doing, I think both were when I was using winamp, though.

Doubling up on the porn huh? Let me guess your blue screen led to blue balls

Try running similarly formatted videos next time in the same program you won't have these autoerotic interruptions .
