    I have a dell Inspiron 531. It has all the same parts with it but the video card, i recently replaced it.

    Recently today while playing World of warcraft online, my toon froze and I was able to move. I shut down manually with the power button when CRT+ALT+DEL didn't work. It loaded fine, no problem. Later on while nothing was running, it flashed a blue screen. I rebooted and it flashed again. It came up in safe mode but I restarted and did a system repair.

    most I got was
    System Disk \Device\Harddisk
    Windows directory= C:\Windows
    AutoChk Run=0
    Number of RootCauses=1

    (lots of other info)

    Root Caused Found
    -------------------
    ----------
    Unspecified Changes to system configuration might have caused the problem

    Repair Action: System files integrity check and repair
    Result: failed Error Code 0x2
    Time taken: 510341ms

    Does anyone know what this means? I have a one year old daughter that loves to push the button. my husband said she had pressed it several times today and I was wondering if she might of damaged the power supply or motherboard or processor.
