Blue Screen of Death

Last night I was sitting on the couch, watching Big Bang Theory and knitting all snuggled under my new favorite blanket with my feet propped up and a cat in my lap when my dear partner comes over to say that the computer unexpectedly shut down and is now showing an error message. Wondering what virus my Dear has inadvertently invited into our system, I went to the computer to fix it and came upon something very different. This, my friends, is a stop error. Some refer to it as the blue screen of death.

I was able to save our pictures, documents, and (I think) our music; but the search for a new computer begins today. *sigh* And I was hoping to work on replacing my old truck this spring.
