Random blue screen issue. The last time it happened I was starting up my machine and It made a loud fan noise and blue screened. It is pretty intermittent has happened maybe once a mouth for half a year. Does not always happen on start up but it did this time when I wrote down the numbers. Any ideas?

I came across a similar issue to this, on a friend's Dell machine and it it was happenning to him when a Disk was left in the DVDROM Drive. It turned out to be a faulty drive.

As a test, try unplugging the drive and see if the problem goes away.

There are usually no discs in the drive when it happens. Although I recently (past few days) just starting having some random problems with the lower dvd/r/rw drive. It opens randomly and gets stuck half way and will not close unless i physically push it in. Not sure if the blue screen problem and the drive problem are related as the blue screen has been happening for months and the drive problem just started a few days ago.

It shows when something wrong with hardware. you can check all hardware which connected or plugged in properly with your PC and remove the CD/DVD from your CD drive

There is no cd/ dvd in the drive as it intermittently works opening partially. I already check that the drive was plugged in properly.
