About half the time I play dominoes on Yahoo my screen goes to the blue death-NEVER anywhere else, got any ideas or suggestions???

out of memory, get another stick

OK, computer dummie here, where and how do you add a stick? Its an HP celeron if that means anything?? I looked at the level and its 83% free-don't know if that means anything either?

sounds like you were looking at your hard drive space.

You would need to open your case to see what type of memory it uses and then buy another stick of RAM memory.

If you are not comfortable with this I would recomend taking it to a local PC shop to have them do it.
You could also check with a local office supply store - sometimes the employees will do tech work on the side. (I NORMALLY wouldnt recomend this for anything more than adding a stick of RAM)

Lacking enough memory is my educated guess..although the error message would help.
Do you know how much memory you have now? You can find out what type you need by going to Crucial.com. My guess it's only around $25. but I don't know what model you have- assuming that is the problem..

I doubt this is a memory problem since it is only happening in a specific program.

What OS are you running?

It could be a variety of things ... what's the message at the top of your blue screen?

Not the hex dump, but what's above it.

I have 191.0MB RAM, with a bunch free it says. I am running Windows ME. And it says on the blue screen-system error-you need to restart your computer.

Go to this web site and down load Belarc Advisor. Then run the program. After the information on your computer is displayed, then do a Select All and Copy.

Come back here, go into message mode, and paste what was copied. Before sending the message, look at it and edit what you don't want us to see. This will give others a background on your computer.

Good luck.

Well, no offense, but Windows ME is the first problem. IMO, you're better off running 3.1 than ME.


If you had a program like Norton it would catch the crash and give you more info. It really might just be a bug with the game.

Next time it happens, if you can write down exactly what it says, that would help.

Yeah I agree, winME always has some compatibility problem with something.

But try to jot down the name of the problem when it goes to blue screen. Try looking it up here or just type the error in Google and you may find your solution.
