Been working on your map for hours? Suddenly got an error or the dreaded blue screen of death? Dont hit your computer! It will get pissed at you and reset. Or even worst, permanent damage!

The ultimate solution... "Go to your friends house and bash his computer?" No you fool!

Or another easy solution called 'using Windows XP'. It makes your computer reset itself if you get a BSOD (which happens much much less often, and will tell you why afterwards)

I was going to mention XP, but I figured you'd walk on in and mention it, looks like I was right. [addsig]

This was perfect for allieviating a little stress from an episode earlier today (it involved DX, my Radeon card and UT2004 ass-raping both). I needed that. [addsig]

I have had windows 2000 for 2 years now, and have seen a BSOD three times ever. Two were when I screwed up the install of my dodgy UDMA66 controller (you have to do a wierd combination of stuff for it to install properly with windows - not windows fault). The third time was slightly more windows fault - I installed an update from windowsupdate which I thought would make my UDMA controller work better, and it caused my PC to not get into windows any more But that was the fault of my lame UDMA controller again.

The only time my XP has given me a BSOD was when the Hard Drive was actually dying, so it literally was a BSOD. The Kernel 'popped' and my drive died the next day, had some troubles initializing and such. Other than that, XP has been spotless. [addsig]

At one point in time, when I had Win98 on a computer. It would literally seg fault (blue screen) when moving the mouse ... man what a piece of crap.

Orph, ...kay, I'm actually getting sick of XP myself. it's not that things don't work its becoming tedious, since XP doesn't manage it's memory usage well enough (meaning it leaves things running when they should shut down: Winamp and Windows Media Player included)

The threat of re-installing everything is the only thing stopping me lol. But I'm glad its working well for you. The one thing I've give XP is that, compared to other versions of Desktop Windows, it can continue to run without much trouble. (But I'm sick of things randomly dying, and obviously it isn't random because it happens for a reason, but it's starting to happen more frequenty). [addsig]

some problems can be hardware related, too.
