I use SpySweeper, not sure if that is a necessary part of the discussion. Tech skills are about a 6 on a 10-scale. I see that Microsoft will install updates when I sign off tonight. Do you think I will get the BSoD again?
Are you looking at the error message that it gives you when you reboot? Sometimes it is due to a driver issue.
And yes, once you start getting them you will usually continue unless you fix the problem.
