My computer has been crashing all day. Error message says bad drivers have
been installed. I haven't installed anything new except the automatic updates
that installed on 8/14. I can't get this fixed. What do I do?! Please help!

I'll have to wait until it happens again. Usually I walk away from the
computer for a while and come back to my screen which says "Windows has just
recovered from a major/serious repair"or something like that. Then I send
the error report and it takes me to a page which states that the reason is
because a device driver caused the problem but they don't know which one.
Could be something recently installed, etc.

If I am here working for a prolonged period of time, it will lock up and
stop working altogether and I've had to shut down the electrical strip
because it's the only way to get it to move.
