Minecraft Forums

I hope this is the right forum. A few months ago, when there were free codes for Metro through Steam being given out on Facebook, I got it for my brother to play (it won't run on his computer). He played it for a while without trouble, but when he reached a level/map/chapter (I wasn't really paying attention, and I don't know how that game runs), my computer crashed and gave him a blue screen. He tried a few more times to play the game, and it kept crashing and giving him a blue screen. I don't know how many times he tried after the first time. After that, when I tried to play Minecraft, my computer would crash and give me a blue screen. I uninstalled Metro as soon as I could, but the crashing didn't stop. Since it was only Minecraft that seemed to trigger the crashes, I uninstalled and re-installed Java. That didn't fix it either. I don't know what else to try, besides giving up Minecraft, and I really, really don't want to. I have googled blue screen of death, and once I realized the STOP: # had a lot to do with the type of crash I googled that too. I saw on a post somewhere to download BlueScreenView to see the crash file, so I downloaded that, although I'm pretty sure it's not showing the same information on it's blue screen preview as I saw on the real thing. I haven't done much since about my problem since downloading that, mostly because I don't know how or what to do.

The error I keep getting says something about a clock interrupt not being received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval. The STOP number is: 0x00000101

My computer is about 8 months old. The computer info on the System page (brought up by bringing up the start menu, R-clicking on Computer, and then bringing up properties) says:

I searched MinecraftForums for other posts about the 0x00000101 code and in the posts a dump file was sometimes requested. I don't know how to get one, but if it is needed and someone can provided instructions, I'll do my best to get one posted.

I hope someone can make sense of this... I'd be really grateful for some help and constructive advice.
