    Hi billz

    I assume you have his machine running again. If not, power down and restart.

    In searching for your error they all came back as hardware error. Since the title of your thread contains the words New Acer Laptop I would make a note of the date and error. If you see this again you should use your warranty to have the device serviced / replaced.

    You may wish to see if the Reliability History contains any specific details. I would also run Windows Update just to be sure and scan Device manager to see if any of the drivers are complaining (yellow triangles with exclamation marks.)

    Thank you Ken for your interest. The Problem with the Acer Laptop has been solved. I did notice that the power light was indicating low, so I charged it a little and took it back to Argos where it had been purchased 35days earlier, Itself a replacement purchase for a previous Acer also about 35 day old when I got my money back and bought the current one.
    I kept the screen on blue as I wanted to show the manager the blue screen and message, however in the shop I left it with the manager and went to my car to get the receipt, on return the manager had press the buttons and it appeared Ok, Took it home again. Apparently solved!

    However My big Problem is still My Medion PC of a few years old.
    My Problem is that I have so much data going back a very long time from early Windows that I cannot risk just feeding it into a problem solving set up and one day find some docs that may have been moved many times finding them vaporized, as the long links could have been part of the problem. I did try AVG, as in the past they have taken over my computer and solved a problem before now. But they say the Problem is with Microsoft. I think so too. It looks as I have an App index blown up and placed over my Folders-I cannot modify it at all - Make it smaller etc. to expose my Desktop. I can on a slightly longer roundabout way still access my data, I did also put a message on the Microsoft website, but got no reply.
    Out of interest I will reply to the thread with a two screen shots if I can. Just to let you and others see the Problem and may recognise where this "app index" has originated from it looks similar to my previously index that could be popped up when wanted and removed with a click on the desktop screen. But it has also taken out my taskbar.

    A BlueScreen Of Death (BSOD), Windows caught a fatal issue and shutdown the system to prevent problems.
    WHEA = Windows Hardware Error Architecture, as Caledon Ken says it means that Windows has caught a hardware error although it doesn't have to be a hardware issue per se.
    However, with just a single crash it is nothing to worry about. Usually a small corruption in the data stored in the RAM which is wiped after a reboot.

    In some browsers, like Google Chrome, you can just paste (ctrl + v) the screenshots in the editor :)

    If I might add, it looks like Tablet mode. I threw one of my devices into tablet and I get the same task bar, arrow on left, etc.

    To disable Tablet mode, click on Notification icon, very right, find tablet mode and click. If it is on it will be blue, no colour it is off.

    If as axe0 states it is full screen, start=>setting=>personalization=>Start menu. Shut off full screen.
