[vtorres]

Well i was in the middle of playing Football Manager 09 when suddenly it froze and then it closed and a boxed appeared saying check football manager system dump files i click ok and then the next thing i no a blue screen appears for a 1/4 of a second and then my computer restarts should i be worried ?

Did you try to run any diagnostics?
That blue screen is a called a BSOD. Did you happen to catch the number?
You might want to try this bootable CD: http://www.ghacks.net/2006/08/06/the-ultimate-diagnostic-boot-cd/
It's most likely a hardware error.

What do you mean by diagnostics and i did not catch any number as i said it was a flash of the bsod. I have unistalled the game and things seem to being ok. Can i not go in to control pannel or something to see why it crashed ?

Well since yesterday the computer has not rebooted so i think i will try reinstall the game and see what happens.

to see what the BSOD ERROR
Right click My Computer and go to properties. Go to the Advanced tab and under Startup and Recovery go to settings. Under system failure uncheck Automatically Restart.

Write down the hex code and either paste here or google

Sorry to disappoint but the problem hasn't occurred again i think it was football manager which i reinstalled and things are going well.
