    While using my laptop i got the following message on a blue screen:

    ***HARDWARE MALFUNCTION
    CALL YOUR HARDWARE VENDOR
    NMI: PARITY CHECK/MEMORY PARITY ERROR
    ***THE SYSTEM HAS HALTED***

    After getting this message i turned the laptop off and on again and seem to have no problem with it at the moment. Any idea why this could have occurred?

    Could be the video RAM.

    Google your laptop model number and graphics card/adaptor to see if others are having the same problem.

    Have been having a look there and could find nothing, tried a few different combinations but no luck. Its a Fujistsu Siemens Amilo Si 1848.
