Many things can cause the blue screen of death, including a hard drive malfunction. first question i have is this: do you get this blue screen while operating ANY other program (like Word, Excel, or a 3rd party software)? If you get this blue screen with other software, what is the name of the software and does it happen EVERY time? example: if you were playing "Doom 3" and got the blue screen at the same point in the game every time, it would suggest bad software code. If you only get the blue screen with THIS game, it could be the game code itself. Does someone else you know have a copy you can try? The executable instructions for this game may be trying to make adjustments to your computer's registry. this is another thing that can trigger the blue screen. the computer is pretty touchy about registry confogurations, and yes, a game can work on one model of a certain brand of computer, and have trouble on the same model of a certain brand of computer (the chipset may be different, for example). get back to me on if you see this all the time, or just with this game. my guess is if you are only having the trouble with THIS game, it is either an issue with the game, or with the registry. if you were having hard drive trouble, you would most likely see warnings when you boot the PC - or you wouldn't get to windows at all.

The same exact thing happened to me while playing World of Warcraft. Have either one of you found out if it was the game, or a hard drive issue?
