I left my computer on overnight, (playing the music on a youtube video) and I woke up to a blue screen of death. What does that mean?

So I went to sleep last night I left my computer on playing a Youtube video that was about 45 minutes. When I woke up and looked at my computer screen, I discovered that I had the blue screen of death. Was this a memory problem? My computer could not handle being on all night?

I have Microsoft Security Essentials, I scanned my computer (quick scan) and it found no virus. Should I just not leave my computer all night next time?

I'm moving your message to the performance and maintenance of the forum for Windows section.

The cause of the BSOD is generally not a virus. Details of the BSOD, including the potential cause, could be able to be determined on the basis of the error information. It could be hardware, memory, overheating, etc..

    Please always post the URL of your feed, not its content. I'm assuming that your workflow is the one mentioned in the tag "atom: link".

    http://psychicreform.com/mosports/mosports.XML

    Feed validators are complaining that this line contains a prefix of "independent". I think it's probably because in the second line, "rss.xlmns" it does not mention "atom", only "itunes" - the URL in this line indicates the feed reader RSS how to interpret the tags for this application. Without link for 'atom', the tag is meaningless to readers, and it is marked as an XML error, which is enough to cause the feed unreadable. There is no need to have this line (Atom is a very old RSS reader which I doubt anyone uses now) and you'd better remove that line altogether, either that or somehow insert the URL of the atom, which seems to be "xmlns:atom ="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"" so that the second line would read as follows: "

    http://www.iTunes.com/DTDs/Podcast-1.0.DTD"xmlns:atom ="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"version ="2.0">"

    You will need to take one or the other or the feed will continue to be unreadable.

  • I am trying to download images from a compact flash player map, but every time my computer shows i/o device error. What does that mean?

    I am trying to download pictures from a card compact flash player map, but every time my computer shows i/o device error. What does that mean?

    Hi Richard,

    1. what version of Windows you are using on the computer?

    2. have you checked if the problem persists in a different USB port and in another computer?

    3 - is the card compact flash not detected in Device Manager?

    A Secure Digital or SD memory card is a device of small portable storage usually used on a digital camera or camcorder, cell phone, or computer system. When you use the card, you may sometimes experience an IO error. The term "i/o" is refers to an input/output error and may involve the SD itself card or the card reader you are using.

    Try these methods:

    Method 1: Try to run the hardware troubleshooter and check what the problem is and fix it accordingly.

    Follow the link below a convenience store opened.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-hardware-and-devices-Troubleshooter

    Method 2:

    Eject the SD card in the card reader and check the writing on the side protection tab. This tab should be in the up position; otherwise, you will not be able to save all data on the card. Also check the connection between the computer and the SD card reader. If the card reader is not properly connected to the computer, you will receive error messages when you try to use the SD card or your computer does not recognize the card.

    Response with more information to help you. Back to us for any problem related to Windows. We will be happy to help you.

  • My computer has stopped downloading of updates due to an era 8007000 b. What does that mean?

    MY computer has stopped downloading of updates due to an era 8007000 b. What does that mean? Donald strickland

    Hello donaldstrickland,

    Thank you for using Microsoft answers Forums.

    Solution:

    Windows Update, Error 8007000 b

    If you receive the 8007000 b error when you try to install updates for Windows 7, the Windows file system transaction log is damaged. The transaction log is used by the Windows file system to recover when a file error occurs. To correct this error of update, you clear the log. Here's how:

    To clear the file system transaction log

    1. click on the Start button and in the search box, type command prompt.

    2. in the list of results, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    3. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER. (This command assumes that drive C is the drive where Windows 7 is installed. If Windows is installed on another drive, change the drive accordingly letter.)

    true fsutil resource setautoreset C:\

    4. you should see a message saying that the operation was completed successfully. If this is not the case, check your spelling and try again.

    5 Type Exit and press ENTER to close the administrator: command prompt.

    6. restart your computer.

    7. download and install the update again.

     

    That should solve the problem.


    Thank you.

     

    UDAY $012 please let me know that whether the solution worked or not, I thank you and appreciate your comments. URGO

  • I ran Trend Micro Internet Security Pro when a mistake also appeared as the "Visual C++ Runtime Library" what does that mean?

    Original title: problem of the Visual C++ Runtime library

    I ran Trend Micro Internet Security Pro when a mistake also appeared as the "Visual C++ Runtime Library" what does that mean?  I called Trend Micro, they said it was a mistake by Microsoft and get in touch with them. Microsoft seems to think that it is a problem of Trend Micro... Someone knows who has problem, is it?  How can I get rid of this thing of C++.  I have Windows XP thanks

    Hello

    The message appear when you run Trend Micro Internet Security Pro?

    I suggest that you follow these methods and see if they help.

    Method 1:

    Step 1:

    This could be the result of a virus. I wish you put your computer into safe mode and run a scan and check if that helps.

    Step 2:

    In normal mode, Uninstall and reinstall software Trend Micro Internet Security and check if the problem persists.

    Note:
    Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats.  In most cases, you should not disable/uninstall your antivirus software. If you must temporarily uninstall to solve a problem, you must reinstall as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is uninstalled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Step 3:

    Perform disk defragmentation and check if the problem persists.

  • trying to turn the windows Defender I get message 0x8007056b4 what does that mean

    trying to turn the windows Defender I get message 0x8007056b4 what does that mean

    Hello

    If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

    There is nothing to worry.

    Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

    If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-security/how-do-i-manually-start-Windows-Defender-in-Vista/dab845b2-9ba5-47F3-9518-c4c6781e7d5b

    "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

    Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

    Once modified, click apply and OK.

    Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"

    .

    If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:

    http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

    And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:

    "How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista"

    http://netsquirrel.com/Msconfig/msconfig_vista.html

    Or the program Autoruns for FREE:
