no deffo not clicking or anything like that, someone mentioned it might be caused due to overheating, i dunno if they were just guessing, but might give a can of compressed air a try.

I've got a laptop which kept freezing occasionaly, so I powered it off using the power button and had been working well after that, but the same thing happened and now during booting it gets to the windows ...... loading screen with the blue dots and then reboots itself. I have tried safe mode, last know good settings etc and finally tried do not restart on error and have managed to get the following message from the blue screen the error is *** STOP: 0x00000024 (0x0001902FE, 0xF78EB824, 0xF78EB510, 0xF7218185) *** Ntfs.sys - Address F7218185 base at F720B000, Datestamp 45cc56a7 any help much appreciated
