Blue screen error message: Hardware Malfunction, Contact your hardware vendor, System has halted1 person needs an answerI do too

Without more details, all I can say is that you need to believe the error message and some vital hardware component has failed. Contact your computer mftr.'s tech support. You can also troubleshoot this yourself or take the machine to a reputable local professional. Don't use a BigComputerStore/GeekSquad type of place.http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_TshootMS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
