When Do You Get The Blue Screen?

by Grif Thomas Moderator - 4/21/08 10:23 AM In reply to: blue screen by danielpattiz

Are you able to log into the computer normally? How about Safe Mode?

What kind of computer? Laptop or desktop?

If it's a desktop, have you tried swapping in a known good monitor from a friend or family member?

Is the computer new?

Hope this helps and let us know more.

If OS is not loading and there is Blue screen with some error message than there can be RAM problem also.

Blue tint?

So you don't mean the Blue Screen of Death, (BSOD), example here;

That is what we thought you meant.

Do you mean the display on your monitor now has a blue tint on it? If so, have you tried adjusting the color controls on the monitor?
