Several times of late when editing my video I get a blue screen & a
waring that windows is shutting down my PC, to avoid damage. Whats'
this all about & can this condition really damage your machine?

Thanks in advance

Likely caused by a hardware problem such as flaky
memory or intermittent power supply, etc. etc. etc.
Almost certainly NOT related to editing video (or
any other particular computer software task.)

The Blue Screen of Death became less common with Windows XP. It should
give you an error code or something like Error 0E AT xxxxxxx in module
yyyyyy.

There is a utility called DR WATSON. If you run that it tries to trap
errors and gives a more detailed report.

Oftem but not always a driver issue.

Certain error conditions can cause actual damage but it is rare.

Actually, the STOP code reveals the problem. One of the first things on a BSOD shows the following:


STOP 0x00000000

You have to substitue the 0s for your code (ex. 0x00000EA)

Do a google search for that code it will tell you what it means.

Hey Steve,
What if because you opened both and certain amount of system memory is used
caused error?
Did you also try running many other things that uses system resources just
to be sure?
Just a thought but could also be bad drivers, aren't IRQ's handled by
windows or bios now?
maybe try allocating a certain IRQ to the slot in the BIOS, so that one
isn't used by windows?

Good Luck,
AnthonyR.
