New laptop had it's first blue screen

My 3 month old laptop had it's first blue screen today. I closed all my windows, and closed the lid, when i came back 2 hours later it opened in a blue screen dumping the physical memory. Anything I should do? Should I be worried? It told me I recovered from a serious system failure, and asked if I wanted to check for a solution, but after a few minutes of searching, the window just closed... :???: Just wondering if there's some sort of procedure I should follow or something for a blue screen.

Thanks for the help!

Its nothing really if its just once, unless its occurring frequently.

in all my time using a computer, i've never once seen a blue screen, I often wonder what the hell you guys are doing with your computers, browsers and the likings to ruin them or get this many errors all the time :P!

We do a little trolling

For me, when I got my blue screens it was because Vista needed a critical update. Since I got that update I haven't had anymore issues. What OS is on your laptop? And did you get anymore blue screens within then and now? Because I got like 3 in quick succession when it happened to me.



My Projects:

Impossible Ultraviolet | Impossible UV 2 | Impossible UV 3
Mercenaries 2020 | Mercenaries III
Squad Defense

Legacy Projects (No guarantee of functionality in modern SC):

Pixel Adventure 2 | Space Snipers | Control the Ball

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?

Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
