I've been getting a blue screen with the following message: Run a system diagnostic utility supplied by your
Try changing video adapters. Disable and remove any newly installed hardware and drivers.
Disable and remove any newly installed software.
What does all this mean?
My computer has been very slow lately and I ran disk clean up and did defragmentation yesterday. However, I'm still getting blue screens.
How can I fix my computer? Would you please describe step by step the whole process.
Thanks.
P.S. I have a Dell computer, a windows xp

Could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software. This problem can be solved by uninstalling new software, updating device drivers and making minor configuration changes . From http://fixit.in/bluescreenofdeath.html . You can also run a free registry scan using utilities from http://re7.info
The Windows blue screen aka blue screen of death or “BSOD” is caused by errors in your Windows registry. The longer we use our computer the more errors are created in the registry. Because Windows cannot fix this problem internally it can get so bad that our computer crashes and we get the blue screen. The best course of action is to scan your computer for free at

goto my computer/computer / local disk / windows / minidump
in the minidump folder there will be a file , if you make that file available for download and pm me the URL (to download it) ill look at it for you and tell yuo why yuor pc is blue screening
if the folder is empty next time your pc crashes WAIT till the memory dump has completed before you reboot (its a counter at the bottom of the bluescreen screen) then go get the minidump file after reboot
Then how did you navigate to this page and type up this question? Are you starved for attention????
If it's specifically saying video drivers, something is probably wrong with them.
I recommend you boot your computer into VGA mode (by hitting f8 while its starting up and selecting VGA mode).
Once you get in, download drivers for your card, nvidia, ATI, or intel integrated depending on the type you have.
most time, Driver Errors refer to incompatible, and poorly designed drivers or a missing, corrupt driver. You need some software to fix the damaged file. Then enabling you to prevent the occurrence of frequent errors on your PC. select a powerful registry cleaner, we support you clean you PC twice a week. A powerful registry cleaner can do more than you think. Just like safely clean the errors ,speedup your computer. Registry Easy is the best choice which can easy get rid of driver error like 0×000000XX and fix PC bluescreen.
