Laptop Nightmare

I just 'got out of' a laptop nightmare. Basically, I was happily browsing away when I get the most feared "Blue Screen of Death". I thought a simple reboot would sort it out, but how wrong I was.

I rebooted, and it all seemed fine, loaded up fine, and I was back browsing again. Then, a couple minutes later, the laptop shows the screen up again, and wham, it restarts.

A little worried, I decide to go into the start-up options and to a startup repair. No avail. I try a system restore to a day ago, no avail. At this point I got worried and tried every possibility out there to get it to work (including reseating the RAM). No avail.

I was left with one option - format, and re-install Windows. That's what I ended up doing.

I'm now left back at the start - have to re-install Photoshop, and all the other essentials.

Bah, hope I get back on track soon.
