I'm receiving this error message (on the big blue screen)
when trying to boot up. I just recently installed a cable
modem. I'm getting various other Windows error messages
but, I'm trying to avoid reinstalling Windows. My pc
likes to randomly restart itself and I can't determine the
cause. Has anyone heard of this message or know what
could be causing this OS conflict? Any info. would be
helpful. Thanks!
