Re: Blue screen and unexpected shutdown
0x7f bugcheck = UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP - CPU generated a trap not
caught by the kernel.
0x7f usually shows up after bad hardware install of some kind, but can
be software related like kernel stack overflow.
Since no new hardware, I would advise Vista system restore 1st -
START | type *rstrui *- hit enter | choose restore point prior to
yesterday's incident.
Re: Blue screen and unexpected shutdown
1. Do a System Restore to before you downloaded the game.
2. As a precaution, after System Restore is finished scan your computer for
malware.

Re: Blue screen and unexpected shutdown
Not a problem with mistaken info provided - these things happen. I
would still follow the suggestion I provided - system restore - the
*rstrui *command.
