Lady Hussar's laptop has blue screened about 3 times in the last month. All of a sudden windows will go, replaced by the Blue Screen, and then after about 10 seconds reboots the thing. Last time I managed to read the first paragraph before it went – something about Windows shutting down to protect itself.

Any ideas?

There is not enough information to make any kind of diagnoses.

Read ( real fast ) the line that has error 0x:00xxxxx in it , that will point to a hardware or software problem. Be especially vigilant on a IRQ error. Generally an error that ends in D or C will point to a hardware failure, but without more information, I cannot help much.

Need more specific information. Could be a broken Windows install, could be a hardware failure.

If you are a little tech-savvy, I'd download a live linux distribution, boot up from a USB stick (you don't have to install anything).

If it's a hardware problem, you'll get crashes and malfunctions in the live environment as well.
If not, it may be time to reinstall Windows.
