I am new to high speed internet access, and I wondered if anyone can give me some insight into the problem that occurred last night. I have a brand new Dell 8300 running super fast (less than 1 week old) and am running Verizon DSL on the Westell modem they provided. I was downloading music from the WinMX program last night, when all of a sudden, wham!!! I got the "blue screen o' death!!!" It said my system had been shut down to avoid damaging my operating system (or something similar), and that I needed to reboot. The warning message said if it happened again to run scan disk and all. Well, when I reconnected, started downloading tunes, and again, I got the same blue screen. This time I ran scan disk. It didn't seem to hurt my computer, but the Windows message said my system was recovering from a "serious system error". Can anyone give me some insight as to what happened? Was it the fact that Verizon DSL has a built-in firewall that WinMX doesn't like? Can this damage my system? And should I just go with a cabel modem??? Any help someone can give would be appreciated. Thank you!
