This evening my Advent PC had problems booting up

I first tried the "Auto repair" put on by the Tech Guys of PC World and then tried the start normally, which so far it has

I got a dialogue box with this text (copy and pasted)

It said check for solutions which I clicked but so far has said no more

Any clues?

Last night I had a problem when I had a DVD in from work, which should be just a load of web pages and picture and documents related to where I work and for some reason the monitor went blank and I had to do a hard restart. May be related?

Not sure if it was related to some weeks back when there was a power failure with my PC on at the time.

On the auto repair it said something about hardware, but I have not added any recently

Go to a PC help forum and theyll give you better info than you'll get at TiBB. You need expert advice not amateur guesses.

It is probably a driver which has gone wrong. Get this program http://download.cnet.com/BlueScreenV...-10965136.html and use it to analyse the minidump file mentioned in the error report. That will tell you which file is associated with the crash, and you can tell from that which driver it is and either re-install it or uninstall it.

You might need to boot into safe mode to use it if you can't start Windows at all at the moment.

So far I have been able to boot up my PC two times since this incident, where it eventually booted up to allow me to copy and paste that screed in my original post.

Will have a look at that link later in the day, (hopefully)

Needless to say I find switching on my desktop more stressful and have been resorting to my laptop which has other problems as well.

Using the Blue Screen Viewer I got this result
