My computer started to flash blue and said it was terminating my memory?

Also it was beeping. It's a Dell Latitude. All of my stuff was on there obviously. Can I turn it back on? Will all of my memory be gone?? HELP!!!!!

Ok.
I have had this problem in the past.
FYI - this is called the Blue Screen of Death (or BSoD for short).

It is safe to turn your computer on, and the name suggests something horrible but it really isn't.

Mind you, I had this and my computer ended up crashing and it cost more than the actual laptop to fix it, so I got a new laptop.

Try restoring your computer to a previous date.

Good luck,

No it didn't.

Try again. What exactly did it say and do?

It is nothing serious. Leave it off for an hour and then turn it back on. This is something that happens a lot. Your files will still be there.

What your computer did was a Blue Screen of Death. It sounds serious, but it's typically not. It was most likely memory overload, or driver/software incompatibility. It is safe to turn it back on.
