Dell Inspiron Win 7 64bit SP1
8 GB ram
The other day i got my second Blue Screen of Death in the last couple months. I asked a tech friend about how to look up the error by pulling up some kind of error log on my system. His reply was to run a memory test, pi calculator and a graphics test to see if any of them cause the blue screen error. He said if those didn't have a problem then it may be a virus.
I started with the Windows Memory diagnostic via...
Open Memory Diagnostics Tool by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type Memory, and then click Diagnose your computer's memory problems.
After choosing to restart and begin test the laptop restarted with nothing more than a BLACK SCREEN. I waited a while then did a hard re-start. After it was done i ran the test by typing memory in the START menu and selecting the Diag tool again. After restart the screen went BLACK again. I left it over night and in the morning it was still BLACK with no memory test.
After getting home today i ran the test by ...
Open the Start Menu and type in mdsched.exe, then press enter
I ended up with the same result.
I have also tried running in safe mode with networking with the same result.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
