just install a video card, or you can manually disable it in the BIOS of your motherboard\n\nwhen you computer is booting hit DEL at the initial boot screen after the system check.

First, you should turn off your Automatic Restart feature.  To do this, you must go to Start, Control Panel, System, System Properties, Advanced Tab, StartUp and Recovery button, and uncheck Automatically restart under System Failure.  What will happen instead of restart is a blue screen.  On that blue screen, there will be stop codes.  Write these down.  Then using a computer that works, enter them in google or go to Microsoft and find the place where you can search for these codes [google will probably be faster].\n\nBy and large, I think there is a problem with heat, probably your cpu.  You should get a can of air and blow out as much dirt and dust as you can.  You may have to remove the fan and clean the fan blades, and that will make it easier to clean the heat sink fins.\n\nBut this is not a sure thing - it acts like it, but getting the stop codes is important as it could be a memory module problem also.  And it could be a software thing, but I don't think so.

Reboot (restart) in safe mode, then go to  control panel/system/advanced tab/startup and recovery box/settings button/ sytem failure/ and   then uncheck  "restart on system failure" ( take the check out of automatically restart box )  , and then  check the "Write a system event", and the "Admin alert" boxes (check "send admin alert")  and  the next time it randomly turns off,  you should get a blue screen with white text, which will have code info.   Write down the exac Stop Error Code and put  that exact error into the google search box to see what info you get,  and/or  post that exact error here in this thread \n Also go to your device manager (devmgmt.msc) and check the properties  and look for anything suspicious and check that the settings are where they should be.

you could try doing a "chkdsk /r" at the recovery console:\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/229716/EN-US/

durung your startup, when the screen changes from the bios/post screens repeatedly hit F8 - this should bring you into safe mode. Without a password, or password breaker, there is no real way in through the GUI.\nyour only hope would be to either try the safe mode option or just command prompt, and if you're old enough like i am, you can use DOS to route around, but any security placed on the files will remain even in dos mode, if the HDD is NTFS

Just keep on pressing F8 when your system is booting

well if its a program watching you, you can boot up safe mode with networking. an easy way to get it to start in safe mode with networking everytime is to go to start-run-msconfig. somewhere in msconfig u can tell it to boot safe mode

reboot, and start hitting the f8 key, it will bring you to a black screen with options, arrow key to safe mode and hit enter

Found a widget with Terminal commands on the page.  Maybe it'll help you figure it out.\n\nhttp://johannes.emerich.de/counting-sheep/\n\nHere's an app called "Super Shut Down 2.1"\n\nhttp://softwares.bajram.com/utilities/#Super_Shut_Down\n\nanother app...\n\nhttp://homepage.mac.com/marco_coisson/FinalCountdown/FinalCountdownEn.html

You don't really want to mess around in  the BIOS unless you know what you are doing.  If your getting a blue screen with the message to disable memory options then it's probably caused by a driver on something, like active X or some other software you have installed and usually reinstalling the program or drivers fix error messages.\n\nAcronym for basic input/output system, the built-in software that determines what a computer can do without accessing programs from a disk. On PCs, the BIOS contains all the code required to control the keyboard, display screen, disk drives, serial communications, and a number of miscellaneous functions.\n\nWhen the computer first starts (before you see the windows \nscreen), you need \nto press a key or keys to enter BIOS Setup. The \nkey to press depends on PC or \nmotherboard manufacturer. It's \nusually Del, ESC, F1, F2 or F10. Once in the \nBIOS, take a look around for video shadowing and disable it. The exit saving your changes. Be careful in the BIOS. You don't want to make any unnecessary changes. If you make a mistake or are unsure, exit without saving your changes.\n\nThe system administrator is the person that registered Windows\n\nHaven't a clue what you mean by technical support group but you can go to Microsoft to use their knowledge base http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=0

is it the "Blue Screen Of Death"?

What you are seeing is probably a blue screen of death (BSOD). There are many causes of it, mostly hardware problems. I cannot tell you the exact cause until you provide more information about any recent changes to your computer ( hardware upgrades etc). It may indicate a broken driver or a failing PC component.

That all depends on what is causing the error.  Blue screens are not specific to one problem.  It could be one or more of many things.  As the above answerer stated, copying down the stop error code and using a search engine will usually generate good results.

Insert ur hp restore disc and restart ur system and keep pressing 'y' once the system turns black and hold it till something appears on the screen but if u dont have a cd press F10 when u start the system it takes u to system restore.
