Your machine is kernel panicing which is usually a sign of dodgy hardware (usually 3rd party RAM), or an application accessing part of the system it shouldn't be. As for us making it stop, why should we? Ring the place you purchased it from and get it fixed yourself.

BTW try a real topic next time ;)

Yeah I guess "Can anyone please tell me WHY..." is a great topic, I looked at it and knew straight away what it was about. :rolleyes:

This isn't the first time a non-descriptive title has been used. But telling the guy to get his problem fixed by himself is simply arrogant and uncalled-for.

If you don't want to help him then don't. MAKE IT STOP is his way of voicing his frustration. Nothing wrong with it. He didn't use any 4-letter words or demonstrate anti-social tendencies.

I was just asking a question. I guess I should be more formal and to the point or go to another board. Sorry.
