Laptop is driving me insane!
This morning it's started flashing to a blue screen and back to normal again
So now I'm updating all drivers and running a system scan to see if it'll fix it. I hope and pray either will fix the problem else it may be the screen that's packing up. Bloody thing is only 6 months old!
It does look like a Windows problem though so fingers crossed it's only a corrupted file.
So many things that can go wrong

If it's the blue screen, then it's unlikely to be the screen - the screen just shows what it's told to show by the computer.

No viruses, spyware or malware. It seems to be a driver, corrupt windows file problem or problem with an update. I'm eliminating problems one by one.
I am sure it's not the screen itself as when I'm on Firefox it doesn't go blue, just the desktop that does it.

We have it as well but it's not really death. Just means Windows isn't working.

I just hide behind the reset button and keep pressing it until it stops going blue! Worked so far, luckily!
