If it has time to show that message box it probably made a note in your Event Logs. Might look there ... and also open device manager looking for conflict ico's.

I bet the screen turns all blue and it restarts, that's a blue screen error, you should take it back if it is that new. xp or vista? There is a way to stop it from restarting so you can read the error, the errors are hard to diagnose though, best to take it in.. In the link below are images of some blue screen errors and what they look like... Not a fun error....

Mikie is right you can view it in the Event log, but you will need to consult a computer scientist, a hardware technician and a software developer, to figure it out they can be difficult to track down. This error is also known as a windows stop error the important part of the error is or looks like this 00000xe0 (0000c1, 0000c2, 0000cc0). And that is what you would see on the screen, or as mikie said in the event log..

I'm so sorry thatI haven't checked back in to see your replies. I was in the hospital for six days and recuperating at home and then the Holidays hit.

Thank you all for your replies. Mikie, Where do I find the Events Log. I found the Deviice Manage but don't know what I'm looking for. Any help, please?

Right click MyComputer and choose Manage.
