So after upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 my less than year old system has been randomly getting these messages.

It's happened when:
- I was messing with the location of some of my USB devices in the back while the computer was on
- I can always get it to happen when I'm watching Youtube and I turn the video quality onto HD settings (1080p, 720 etc)... my computer freezes, crashes, and that pops up.. strange right?
- Gaming. The first 10 months of me owning this system it has never crashed while playing games. Now I'm guaranteed to get that message and a crash at some point, its just a matter of when. Sometimes I cant even use my computer to game because it happens every 10 minutes.

It seems like maybe RAM issues? My graphics card drivers, and all my drivers, are fully updated to my knowledge. I went through and checked in device manager.

I'm worried and I don't really know what to do. Any information you need is yours!

Thanks!
 
Its been a while but it happened again. This time I was downloading something, and it crashed. I restarted and resumed the download, did it again.

I unplugged the wireless adapter I have in the USB and it happened right when I unplugged it. Maybe it has something to do with my wireless adapter?
