Need a complete rundown of the basic specifications for what is installed in your system. Need to know what devices you have installed. Please clarify.

Sounds like a possible power supply problem. Have you changed or added/installed anything lately (just before this started happening)? Also, do you recall the type of bluescreen errors you have been having?

Last, are you using the video adapter built into the motherboard or a stand alone card?

I will say Power supply too. I bet it's a super cheap 350w that came with it.

@COLGeek
i dnt use a seperate vga card, its the onboard one i use, also the bluescreen is the memory dumping thing i guess

Understood. Changing the power supply may help stabilize the system, but it is also possible that your HDD has become corrupted due to the failures. I suggest you change the power supply (PSU) regardless of whether you have to reload Windows afterward. A bad PSU can cause all sorts of mayhem.

Good luck!
