blue screens of blackened death

Post by Smellhound » Wed Jan 16, 2008 6:12 am

I've been getting the ol' blue screen about every other day while using Live 7. Though I'm using it about 90% of the time I'm at my computer (which is about 8-12 hours a day) so it wouldn't be fair to immediately blame it on Live. However I'm curious if anyone else has had this problem.

XP SP2 Pro
Athlon 64 X2 Dual 4200+ 2.2G
3.2 RAM
audio interface: Focusrite Saffire 10/10\

I have 2 external and 2 internal drives...might be worthy of note that after the blue screen XP always tries running a disc check. But that hasn't fixed the problem in the past so I just skip it now.

I'm also getting occasional blue screens on opening Live 7.01. Never had them in 6.

Also a windows machine. Also using an external drive (USB2)
