hi,
shut down last night and started up this morning.as it was starting up, an unscheduled disk check popped up saying; one of the disks needs to be checked for consistency.once finished, it got through whole process of starting up until desktop appeared and then the blue screen came up. it said;
a problem has been detected and windows has been shtu down to prevent damage. if this is the first time you have seen this error screen then restart your PC. if this screen appears again, run a system diagnostic utility run a memory check and check for faulty or mismatched memory. try changing video adapter.disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software; collecting data for crash dump, beggining dump of physical memory. contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance.
my computer since it has started keeps freezing for periods of five or so seconds, consistently every minuite or so, which is unlike it to dos so.
hope that is useful, unfortunately, it seems its still behaving badly.
Many, Many thanks for your continued patience
