skorch41 Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 (edited) I was watching a movie when windows restart due to unexpected error, and it shows a bluescreen with many codes and words that i didn't get to read because its restarting. When windows restarts i've put it on safemode because i was afraid it will crash again.. so when windows reports the problem it didn't connect because of internet connection not working on safemode.. i think.. then i restarted again.. when i tried to do a disk cleanup, there's an option to delete a system error memory dump files which is 142mb. is that the error when windows crashed? i was afraid that windows will crash again that's why i've put it on safemode. i've never experienced anything like this before. what's the meaning of bluescreen error? what do i need to do? i'm using windows vista home premium.. :crying_anim02: :sad01_anim: :help:and windows says, 'windows has recovered from a serious error'. does is mean that i dont have to worry about it?

NIM Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 I was on Vista presentation few weeks ago where they said that Vista can better handle with BSOD. In 80% of the cases Vista "knows" how to avoid BSOD. You said you were watching a movie, if you watched an .avi or some other format, you probably have a codec issue here. Quote

Looks like two or more codecs are interfering here..i only have 1 codec installed.. i think..when i download divx player, that has a codec pack that comes with it.. and then nothing else.. vlc media player, the reason i downloaded that player is because i can't watch a video compressed with a H264 codec, and vlc media player can play H264 codec..
