I recently got a computer, I was online a total of about 3 hours, and got a virus of some sort. I have a blue screen which I have been told is the "blue screen of death." I don't know what to do, when I start and restart the computer the blue screen immediately comes onto the sceen and I can't do anything. If anyone can help me I would very much appreciate it. Thank you
I would need the error message and the file name you are getting on the blue screen. just reply with all the details and I am sure we will get it to work. thanks
Thank you, my computer is at home, I am having to do all this through my work computer; I will write what it says on the screen tonight and send you the info when I get to work tomorrow. Thanks for the help in advance.
ur most welcome. Please do reply and I will send you an answer. If possible also send the service tag of the computer. I will be able to check a few details. I am online for another 8 hours from now, so you check the time whereever you are. I will be on off for tomorrow and day after tomorrow. thanks.
Beginning dump of physical memory. Physical memory dump complete.
Contact systems administrator or technical support for further assistance.
I have tried restarting the computer, the screen goes directly into the blue screen with this writing. I have called Dell support and they had me try the f8 thing, that was fine, they also had me try safe mode and it didn't help either. Anything you can help me with is very appreciated. This is the first time I've owned a computer and as you can probably tell I have no idea what I am doing.
Regarding the error you are getting, please open the system tower and reseat the memory modules. Just remove them from the slots and put them back in. This should fix the issue. Also let me know the color of the LEDs at the back of the system tower.
If you are not comfortable opening the system tower, please give me the system model and service tag you are using so that I can provide you with the links which will assist you.
Thanks for replying. I'm have no idea what memory modules are, but I will look to see if I can figure it out when I get home tonight. I also have no idea what the LED's are, but again I will look and let you know. The system model and service numbers I'm sure I can find. I'll let you know what happens tomorrow.
Thank you again, I really appreciate this.
Peace
Jen

Sorry it's taken me so long to get this to you. Not having a computer at home is a pain. Anyhow, I thought about trying to unplug the memory things and plug them back in, but to be honest, I don't even know how to open the tower. I looked and tried, but I think I'll break it.
So, here are some numbers I found on the side of the tower.
Service tag- GWJF971
Product Key- JDG96OMQ7F-DHM4H WR9HX-QB9RW
Hopefully one of these is the number you need. Thank you again
Peace
