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

Wow! I thought the blue screen of death was long gone! Sorry I can't help you
though.

Sounds like a heat issue; when editing video, the processor gets too hot
and thus it's thermal protection shuts it down. Sounds like you have a P4.
Should have bought an AMD.

Could be heat related or bad memory.

In many cases, using a video editing solution requires lots of Video
processor power which generates more heat than using MS Word. There is
also the constant use of the hard-drives, so more heat, more power....

Is there any other information on the blue screen, such as a STOP or
bugcheck code? Or any other indication of what the problem might be
about?

There are a vast number of different reasons why a blue screen error
message might appear, and without the detailed specifics from your
actual error it is difficult to speculate as to the underlying cause.

Good luck

Although posably a heat problem, you shouldnt cut out the posability
that due to poor programing windows just crashes with a BSOD (Blue
Screen of Death)
