Whenever the blue screen of death appears on your monitor, you know that something disastrous has happened and that you want desperately to fix the problem. When this happens, you have no recourse but to re-boot the whole system and sometimes you are unable to activate the computer again. This is when you call technical support and use the experience they have to fix this problem. Naturally the blue screen invariably occurs just as you are finishing an important piece of work that you have neglected to back up.
The blue screen is actually a stop screen in Windows and it is no laughing matter. Its presence indicates that there is something seriously wrong and will be a major headache to fix. The blue screen is quite frustrating for even the infrequent occurrence.
