It was balanced on the side. Fortunately it fell on the floor, rather than in the wet stuff...

Could be AV etc, though keep in mind that Microsoft say that 80% of BSOD are due to hardware issues, and from my experience I would agree with that...

A colleague of mine had one of them. He uninstalled it after, for about the fifth time, a manager passing his desk stopped and hit the reset button!  ;D
