Everytime I go on runescape on the laptop, after about five minutes the screen turns blue with a heap of writing and it restarts.....
Whats wrong with it?
Full Version: Runescape.
Does it happen every single time? If it does, you need a new laptop... lol

BSOD.
You sir have been watching too much... (youtube) I'll sub it as that.
Anyways, most of the time it means your computer is dying, so just keep care and don't download *cough* videos, music, or anything that you don't have 100% trust in.
It could also be a systems malfunction, for more information see the link I have there.

Should give you an error log. Write it down and tell us what it says. Might as well be an outdated driver or something.
It just flashes and restarts, so I can't write it down.
@ Ming- I haven't read all the stuff, but the picture is exactly what it is.
And a little speech bubble sometimes pops up saying that there was a problem with the hardware installation and some of it may not function properly.

What you should do is disable automatic restart and then report the error message to us.
To disable automatic restart:
How long has this been a problem? Have you made recent hardware or driver changes?
To disable automatic restart:
- Right-click My Computer and click properties to open the System Properties window
- Click the Advanced tab
- Click the Settings button under the Startup and Recovery section
- Uncheck Automatic Restart

Sounds like a video card driver problem?
Who makes the video card in your system?
Intel, Nvidia, or ATI

If you don't have time to write it down, why not take a picture of it?

Typically, these screens will only flash on the screen for a second or two unless automatic restarts is disabled.

Kay, I did that. Its been a problem for like the last two months but only restarts when I play runescape. The only changes that have been made is wireless internet and printer.
It's probably atikdmag.exe that failed? It happens for WoW when I work the computer too hard. That's for the Nvidia, I think. You need a new graphic card, most likely.
