Default [Answered] First BSOD

My brother just said the pc had a "blue screen with white writing" come up.

I had WoW in the background minimized and my brother was playing runescape.

He said the screen said "Something about windows error, to damage to your computer"


" " = What noobboy said.






So what could this be? i think it may be down to my graphics card ive had alot of driver problems with many games with this card

While I have no honest idea how much demand these 2 put on a PC-- it would seem to me that 2 games @ once-- whether one is minimized (or not) -- is pushing your hardware pretty hard...
My 2-cents worth

I completely agree. Even if Runescape is a very low-pro game, it definitely uses enough resources where WoW in the background's going to be pushing even the best cards pretty hard. My computer has a hard time running The Sims 2 windowed, Trillian, and Firefox all at once on 1280x1024.

If you want, though, you can follow the link in my signature labeled "How to Post Your BSOD" and we'll tell you for sure.

Ah, the good old "Infanite Loop" error. I haven't seen one of these for a while. That BSOD related to this Microsoft article (and possible fix):

Error message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER

Also, can you make sure that your brother has the latest NVidia drivers:

Drivers - NVIDIA Driver Downloads - Download Drivers

EDIT: Marked as Answered.
