Blue screen of death

[matrix]

Does anyone know what causes the blue screen of death?? :twisted:

You're gonna have to give us more information than that before we can make a guess. When does this happen? Which OS? which acad? etc. etc.

What it is, is you can be running any program it doesnt necessarily have to be CAD and everything just stops and your screen turns blue and reads a message saying that your memory is being dumped and the only way out of it is to hard shut down your computer. The term blue screen of death is just what Ive heard it called by various poeple. I experienced this at a major corporation and the I.T. guys couldnt tell me why it was happening and I now work at another office and it has happend here also. It causes you to loose all of you current work and you have to reboot your cpu. At the other office I was running ACAD MAP and now Im running ACAD R2002LT. In all instances I was working in CAD when it happend.

Again what OS? I would see this on NT machines quite regularly but in 3 years on a Win2k box I have only seen 3! It could be anything from a bad stick of ram to a faulty install of the OS. he only times I have seen it on my Win2k box is whaen I had like 2-3 Acads open, Illustrator, IE, Lotus Notes, WinAmp and about 9 items in the sys tray. Remember CAD is a memory hungry application.

First thing you need to do is tell us what operating system you have and then wait till it happens again.When it does happen write down everything it tells you,might be something like memory dump kernal 000cA23 blah blah blah!Windows 2K usually does a memory dump when it has problems could be a dodgy driver,hard drive etc.Then let us know what this info is that you've written down.Someone might then be able to start to solve your problem :)

Matrix I Have The Same Exacted Problem . Do You Have Windows Vista?

[Cad64]

Well Vista didn't exist in 2003, so the answer to your question would have to be no. :wink:
