| Re: Blue Screen Of Death.... Have you looked at what the blue screen says.... Most common ones I have come across are memory ones, some can be hardware relates like hardware going out. some can be related to your drivers as well so really need to know what it says first.

| Re: Blue Screen Of Death.... Will need the Stop error code which should look like 0x000000ZZ where ZZ is a letter number combo. Also in big caps there is also things like IRQL not less or equal. give us that info for better help.

 | Re: Blue Screen Of Death.... could be a sound driver issue (since you were listening to music) however, like said above - stop code

| Re: Blue Screen Of Death.... Could just be that you fixed the issue with the updates. It is not uncommon for updates to fix issues. That is what they are there for.
