    Lately, I keep getting blue screens on my m1330. My OS is WinXP Pro SP2.
    The computer will reboot and I get the message "windows has recovered from a serious error". I sent an error report to MS and their website diagnosis showed there might be a problem in device manager. There was none and the only thing I had disabled at that time was bluetooth.
    I reinstalled the updated drivers for bluetooth and so far it was alright.

    I got another bluescreen just a few moments ago and the computer reboot itself again. I couldn't see what the message/error was since it only showed for 2 seconds. Does windows keep a record of the error codes for BSOD?

    I can't figure out what the problem is. :confused:

    Ok. I unchecked the automatic restart option when I get BSOD. I'll just have to see what the error message is next time. :rolleyes:

    Most BSODs are caused by hardware conflicts is what I've read.

    I had BSOD problem which was caused by GPU driver (on my M90 btw), but was solved after installing vista patch on link - AND this was not even on built in Windows update!

    I know it's for Vista, but I wanted to give you a example of a solution that you should be looking for.

    Try to update all your hardware drivers also.
