[SOLVED] Windows Blue Screened while I was at work

[AaronKyle02]

The problem occured while I was at work. I left my PC turned on to download some stuff and when I came back it was turned off. I was greeted by this:

Could this be graphic card related? I have no issues with my PC on a regular basis as it is only a year old. I'm using an old R7 250 from a previous PC.

So your home/personal PC blue screened while you were at work? And you are not posting about a work PC - correct?

If the problem is on a work PC then you must have your company's IT staff investigate the problem.

If a home/personal PC then:

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Look in Reliability History and Event Viewer for more information about what may have happened.

What stuff were you trying to download? Source? Actually not a real question - just consider that there was a problem with the source site or the network connections between that site and your personal computer's location.

Maybe a power loss at home. Or some other interruption of network connectivity.....

It's a personal computer. I was downloading a game from Steam.

Did you find anything in Reliability History and Event Viewer for more information about what may have happened?

It is difficult to diagnose a problem that occured while you were away from the computer. Or not having any specific error codes, etc.

There could have been a brief power outage, loss of internet connectivity, maybe some initial pop-up window with an error or warning, system beeps perhaps....

Steam may have gone down and that, plus other circumstances, may have caused the blue screen crash.

All I can suggest is that you set up and try the Steam download again when you can be there to keep an eye on things.
