The dreaded blue screen of death!!! Last night was the first time in a long time that I've found myself staring at one of these. I don't know exactly what happened. My laptop has been a pretty reliable machine. My wife had simply launched outlook. Two minutes later she was still waiting for outlook to launch. So I tried to bring up task manager to see what was going on. Two minutes later and I was still waiting for task manager to come up.
Then it came. The blue screen. The screen that makes any computer user cringe. I had no choice but to try to shut down and reboot. Guess what the computer failed to reboot. Could not find OS... So I try a Windows recovery. That fails too. Format? Guess what can't format that too fails. So needless to say here I am talking to Dell tech support and running the hard drive diagnostics. I might be computerless for a couple of weeks. At least it is still under warrenty.
Somedays I just really hate computers...
