Blue Screen of 'Death'? Winamp? Help!?
Whenever I try to play a music file on my winamp, the screen goes entirely black for a few moments, before turning to a bright blue screen.
It says something about dumping my BIOS, I think.
This happens every single time I try to use winamp, no matter what song I use, if I change the skins, or if I restart the computer.
I've tried more than ten times to get it to work, but each time the blue screen appears and I have to restart again.
Anyone know whats wrong? Cause this is really annoying.

Yes... It's really-really annoying to see the blue screen of death showing on your own computer. ^_^
Try to uninstall you Winamp and then download a new version of Winamp. Install it on your computer... If the blue screen still occurs...
Try updating your hardwares by downloading the driver of your motherboard and your videocard (If you have videocard). Be sure that the driver that you are downloading is excact to your computer hardwares...
Hope Ive Helped... ^_^

The most likely cause is a bloated registry which has become the home for all kinds of useless bits and pieces of data. Whenever any change is made to the system settings or a program is installed or uninstalled, a new entry is generated in the registry. The operating system while running your computer has to pick its way through all this excess material. There is a multitude of useless bits and pieces to be removed.Parts of uninstalled programs,parts of incompletely installed programs,dead drivers and many other things. clean your registry and remove all the useless data fragments and no longer needed information to fix the Blue Screen of Death error! I should like to commend Registry Easy http://cleanup-comuter-run-perfectly.com/ to you ! You can try ! Good luck!

Best thing I can tell you is to remove winamp and start using another program like windows media player or you might have a virus do a full virus scan before you delete winamp.

Could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software. This problem can be solved by uninstalling new software, updating device drivers and making minor configuration changes .
