View Full Version : Really quick Blue Screens

Ever since I put Windows 7 on my netbook it's been fine. Just recently, I flashed the BIOS to the W7 compatible one. It worked just fine with the old BIOS, but I thought that the latest BIOS would be best.
That was a week ago. I've experienced about 5 blue screens that go by very fast. W7's Action Center doesn't seem to have a record of it either, or maybe I'm not looking in the right place.
I'm almost tempted to flash back to the old BIOS, if that would even work.....
It's getting to the point where I may just go back to XP and sell this Netbook (because I hate XP), then buy a new Eee PC with W7 already on it.
Although, I really LOVE my netbook

if it happens, hit F8 as fast as possible to try and stop it.

If the system boots into Windows, go to the Advanced System settings, and disable the "automatically restart" so that you can see what is actually causing the bluescreen.

TheGreatSatan,
You may want to attempt to boot from the Windows 7 DVD (or installer media) and perform a startup repair on your Windows 7 installation.
Also, Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 Support Forum located here http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/w7itpro/ . It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams. You may want to check the threads available there for additional assistance and feedback.

Press F8 on startup to get the boot selection menu, and choose the option to disable automatic restart on failure.
