Re: Blue screen of death!! Help!!!

A customer of mine is dealing with the same problem right now. at first we thought he was cursed, because the computer works fine here at my shop, but acts up at his house.

Found out he was using extension cords with a cheap power strip which was causing bad grounds or something. the power was so insufficient that at times the computer would not even detect the hard drive.

Very good possibility, probably not a good ground, if any.
