Sometimes while doing various things on my pc (nero, games, etc.), or installing stuff, i get a blue screen with the following message: "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. If this is the first time you have seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again follow these steps: Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation , ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need. If problmes continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press f8 to select advanced start up options, and then select safe mode.

i used to have that spec of machine, and i also used that video, i used to get those problems. BUt it seems to me like you have been infected with the blaster worm computer virus, try downloading a blaster worm virus removal tool, that may fixyour problem, search for one that is, before it crashes again.

also i think you are running a symantec product, possibly Norton antivirus?? or Norton systemworks, i dunno. as SYMEVENT.SYS, seems like its symantec norton antivirus component. either re-install that, then update it, or completely erase it from your hard drive, by uninstalling it. Jason Simper

Jason, Thanks for the help. But it soes not seem to work and even though I am running Norton Antivirus 2003 and a Norton firewall. It was giving those blue screen halt errors even before i have installed Symantec Products. I appreciate the reply you have posted. If you have any other ideas why it could be doing this, i would appreciate it as I am at my wits end. Blue Skies za_skydiver GeForce FX5200. Syntax Motherboard

I have run a blaster removal tool before as well to no avail. GeForce FX5200. Syntax Motherboard
