I was running a program called MediaPortal - www.team-mediaportal.com.
Its a free open source media center similar to the the media center in
Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. All of a sudden, while browsing
the menus, I got the blue screen of death. I have never had the blue
screen come up before. The blue screen is the same as this one:

However, I'm not sure if it was the same error code or file.

I restarted the computer and ran MediaPortal again. It hasn't happened
again so far. But, my question is: Is it a problem with my computer
and is it screwed up, or is it a little bug in the software?

Just so you know, there have been other reports of the blue screen of
death coming up while using the program:

Thanx


Just to make it a bit clearer, my question is: Should I worry about it?
