104657	2002-12-10 02:10:00	BSOD can be caused by a lot of things.. Bad memory address, HDD failing, Memory error, Bad drivers...etc. it'll help if you can tell us the BSOD msg.	SKT174 (1319)
104658	2002-12-10 02:23:00	does this only happen in word? if yes, then its office corrupted or word macro virus.	yang11 (170)
104659	2002-12-10 02:29:00	When you reboot it, do you get as far as Windows, then the blue screen? From your description, it sounds like the blue screen is not the BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) as it would have an error message normally. How long between powering it up and getting the blue screen?	godfather (25)
104660	2002-12-10 02:46:00	many thanks one and all...I dont think it is BSOD as there was no error message at all and when its booted up ALL you can get is a blue screeen!!! any clues?wont even boot into win98 to start off with just this blue screen	Murph (1078)
104661	2002-12-10 03:07:00	Thought so. Sounds like a pretty massive failure, possibly a hardware problem. Try getting a DOS boot floppy, see if it will boot to that, if not....	godfather (25)
104662	2002-12-10 07:53:00	thank you...I think! I had a gut feeling that it was a bit more than bsod as not quite the same symptoms...off the dr fix it I spose! thanks a mill di	Murph (1078)
