My Dell Vostro 1520 Laptop has given me the blue screen plenty of times in the past two days. It will only stay on for about 2-5 minutes before giving the error and shutting off. When it comes back on, I diagnose the problems and it says "Superfetch is not working". The only way I can access things is to go into safe mode but it doesn't allow me to perform any updates. When I try to allow the windows updates in regular mode, the blue screen pops up about half way through the process. I rebotted the laptop with the windows 7 installation disc and it deleted everything. I can still access files from a "windows old" folder but otherwise it wiped it out. Is Superfetch causing the problem and what can I do to fix it?
Go to Start/Search and type Run and press enter, or press the Windows key+R in the Run box type prefetch and press enter. Select all the files in the Prefetch folder and delete them.
