Sujet: Blue screen of death!

Ce topic est ancien et peut contenir des informations obselètes ou incorrectes.

Hi,
I have never received Windows XP blue screen of death with my DJ laptop until this weekend. I was not even running any videos during the gig - only MP3. I did not install anything new except 6.07 a month back. The Blue screen stops everything and restarts your laptop. I can not have this happen again. I will install the new version of 6.08.
The only thing i can think that is different is that I have saved the original Virtual DJ 5. and installed the 6.07 version in another file. Do you think that caused the problem?

This is not a Virtual Dj software problem.
Its a system problem of some sort.
 
cant say so fir defo mate but i once had 3 versions of vdj insyalled for diff controllers at the time and never got blue screen.so do a check oh what might have went wrong laptop side.were you using external hd.if so double check that as when blue screen happened to me the drive was knackered.check leads also nothing worse during a gig best of luck
 
Blue screens are generally a hardware failure of some sort. Most likely memory or heat related.
 
Same thing happened to my HP laptop. It was not VDJ, it was my memory. I had to replace the memory sticks. After that everything was fine again.
 
Thanks for the info. I doubt it was heat. i was indoors and I have a fan that blows underneath. Maybe dust inside the laptop
 
I had several blue screens caused by overheat....then I cleaned the fans of the laptop....that was the problem for me..DUST..NO MATTER OF THE COOLER UNDERNEATH
 
I found a layer of dust on the outside screen of the fans. I cleaned it off. I had 2 gigs and I did not get any shut downs. I hope it was as simple as cleaning the dust!
