Blue screen - what now?



Using XP Home with SP2. Everything was working ok, did my normal
every-few-days reboot just to clean up stuff. Came up to a blue screen
telling me could not run Windows, suggesting I run chkdsk /f. Would
not boot to safe mode or to last known good config, kept getting the
same blue screen. Finally booted to Dell Win CD and ran chkdsk /r from
recovery console. It "found and corrected 1 or more errors." Booted
again, came up to blue screen. Tried one more time, it booted
normally.

Everything's now working, but I just got message: "Windows virtual
memory too low, Windows is increasing the size of virtual memory
paging file, during this process memory requests for some apps may be
denied." I clicked out of the message and everything appears to be
working ok.

I've backed everything up to an external disk. Anything else I should
be doing, or just wait and see if there are more problems?
