About a week ago the power went out at my house while I was gone. Once I got home my computer wouldn't boot, I had to unplug it and plug it back in for it to start. Then once I started the computer it blue screened. My computer has been blue screening randomly ever since.

Something on your OS got messed up with the power surge.
Try restoring your system to a time before the power outage.
You will loose data, but it should fix your BSOD problem.
If that does not work update all of your drivers. You may need to reinstall Windows.
Could you please tell us what the BSOD says?
Happy Computing!

System restore couldn't go back far enough. Couldn't catch what the blue screen says, it only blinks for a split second. Updating drivers now, will reply if it solves the problem.

No hardware changes, but I did just switch the RAM slots and SATA cables to see if that would fix it and it seems to be working fine, but I'll update if it crashes again.
