A real Blue Screen of Death has (sometimes helpful) messages on it, but
never a mouse pointer. Is it just the Blue of the Windows background/default
wallpaper that is showing?

Subject: [PCTECH] Intermittent BSOD at startup
All,
We have a WinXP PC that gets autostarted weekdays via IBM Director at
5:45am. It does a backup and virus scan so when the employee comes in
around 7:30am, it's ready to roll.
About once a week it has the BSOD when the employee shows up. The mouse
pointer is there and can be moved around, keyboard nonresponsive, disk drive
light off indicating no activity. Press reset and it boots normally. The
Windows system log has no entries whatsoever, so I'm guessing that it never
gets to the point of starting the OS. It's not the same day each week, it's
totally random. Might happen 2 times this week and not at all next week.
