ahhhhhhh too late :D

i really dont care though... if the "computer experts" at our schools cant fix it, psh who can?

its kind of weird though! do you think that it was a network problem? ive gotten the blue screen before, but never synchronized with other computers... ???

btw, i downloaded one for future reference... just in case it happens again :D

and the message was the most common "bad_pool_caller", which restarts your computer OVER and OVER and OVER without stopping... UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGG GGGGGGGGGG.

im glad it isn't my laptop :D

and yes, im at school on sunday. dont ask why.

Ahh the switch to Linux answer! Just make sure you pick a good Distro. I've grown quite partial to Ubuntu over the past few weeks.

The strange this is that all BSOIng at the same time

I don't know I am a bit paranoic thinking this

But maybe a network attack?

[born2phrag]

Not sure if it was a network attack, but it probably was a network issue though, since I doubt they all suffered hardware faults one after the other.

Virus perhaps?

I've got a similar problem at work with 4 PCs, all continually rebooting at the same point all in the same room.

I think someone brought in something they shouldn't have. :rolleyes:

[PatriotAt15]

:confused: who, me? couldn't be!

do not say "then who?".

yeah, i easily assumed it is a network problem, but viruses really are never the cause for the BSOD, just hardware problems.

this also happens when someone puts ANY removable drive into the CPU. it opens the AutoRun option (for windows users), and immediatly pulls up the infamous blue screen, but reboots and works just fine. and by the way, its been 4 days, and they are still rebooting... i know exactly how to fix them, but you know school staff... never trust a 15 year old kid who knows how to hack the server when they need it :D (thats a story for another day.)

Not strange at all for this to happen,

Simple answer, is caused by a driver error.
So since this is the schools machines.
They all are using the same drivers installed by I.T. and will error out.

For it to do this in order one by one, it could be a driver on some type of spying application installed on these machines connecting to them in a ranged network order causing a BSOD in a certain order like your noticing.

Yes but doesn't mean all are same brand and even when could be the same not all brands put always the same hardware on them

We have two HP machines at works even when cases looks near the same one the videochip is ati, the other intel and other differences

And spyware/virus problem yeah sound very possible
