What does this system warning "BLUE SCREEN" message mean?

Question

Hello, i was using my laptop just now , i did a registry leftovers cleanup with CCleaner, and was also downloading big file with torrent program. computer harddisk is 90% occupied.

Then all of a sudden my Window screen turned into a "primitive blue screen" with a few lines of "programing codes" on the top and a message saying :
"Your computer will be restarted to prevent damage to your system .... If this is the first time you see this screen please bla bla bla...."

The scary part is at the bottom of this blue screen there's a message with a percentage counting, saying: "Begin dumping of physical memory...10%...20%...30% .. [percentage keeps counting up...]

I was very afraid of the "Begin dumping of physical memory..." part, thinking is the system starting to delete my harddisk memory?? so i just unplugged the power chord and turned off the computer not letting the percentage finish counting to 100.

When i restarted my computer/windows. There's a "Microsoft Windows" saying : "The system has recovered from a serious error" , along with an "error signature" with some technical error codes.

What exactly happened just now in the "Blue Screen" ????? what's dumping of physical memory? what do i need to do now??

Answer 1

The real name is 'The Blue Screen Of Death'. Don't be scared of it, it will NOT bring a virus on or anything similar to that. If you don't want `a virus, simply wait for it to reach 100%. Its just tricking you with the 'dumping of physical memory' bit. It will not wipe the memory off your computer at all! I'm not an expert at this so ill just ask my father for some help, because we have 4 computers in our house and he know what to do when something goes wrong!



Don't worry!

It's a bad script on the page you're viewing. You can turn off the warnings in your browser. In IE it's: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab Scroll down to the Browsing heading Check both boxes for Disable Script Debugging Uncheck the one further down for Show Friendly HTTP error messages Click Apply, then OK

If you can get back back into Windows backup all of your data to an external drive. Once you've backed everything up use your Installation CD to reinstall Windows.

you have a virus. i suffered with the same BSOD (blue screen of death) for months until i ran an online scan from Trend Micro. it was the zlab virus.

Those codes - the very ones you didn't include - are EXACTLY what we need to help you. Without that, it's nearly impossible to say what's wrong.
