A look in event manager should sort you out.

As I said event manager didn't have anything untoward in it. Gave the laptop a hoover - its been fine since.

Seems it happened so quick not even events.log shows anything untoward, without a BSOD I'm left wondering what has gone wrong. PC doctor reports all ok with hardware and memory.

Laptop is more than 5 years old - time to get a new one methinks - when I am off the bench!

Perhaps the laptop is fine and you just had a petty mal.
