Hello,

I have never encountered it before. Automatic reboot after BSOD is
unchecked, system logs are where they're supposed to be, but I keep on
getting that one bluescreen: if flashes for half a secod *and then
reboots*!
I have absolutely no indication of any kind of error in the event
viewer (system log). Vista says it has recovered from an error or sth.,
when I tell it to 'find a solution', all it tells me is that there was a
problem with *some* hardware driver. Of course, doesn't telle which one,
that would be too simple.

What can I do to find out what's wrong, apart from having my D60 ready
to make a photo of the disappearing BSOD?

You could check your Device Manager to see if you have errors showing there.

I have... forgot to mention it.

I've noticed that it does not always reboot immeadetely - sometimes BS
appears, then all LCD's are going blank (3 plus TV). And then... it can
stay that way forever. It is not compeletely frozen, as the power button
still works (ACPI).

It also has nothing to do with overheating - I've tried warming it up
(by disconnecting some fans) and cooling, by puting a BIG office fan
blowing inside the case. No change.
