Re: Laptop turned to blue screen byitselfA windows machine Blue Screens (commonly referred to as a Blue Screen Of Death - BSOD) basically means something happened that wasn't meant to happen.
There are various causes of a BSOD, common causes are often driver updates that have gone screwy, software error, or an error in windows (of which there are quite a few - none too serious tho).
Unless you get a BSOD regularly, the causes are rather harmless & they can just be ignored. If they are frequent however, they display a STOP code (normally in the form 0x0000000n with n being any number/letter combination). Write that down and google it, there are many sites out there which will identify the cause and supply possible fixes.
