if you have 2 sticks of Ram then try unlpugging 1 and then turn the PC back on and see how it goes, if no crash then unplug that one and try the other, if it crashes then you have your answer.

....or try Memtest.

@browntoa

Whatever floats ya boat, lol

lol

saved it as my desk top ....

I was not sure memtest would run for long enough to prove the ram, hence my aternate method

Worth a try though because it takes the hard disk and installed software/drivers out of the equation.

Hello. Thank you all for your help i think i have resolved my problem. I still dont know what the problem is, but i stopped some activities by using the msconfig command and my PC seems to be running fine now. Hopefully it wont come back again. Thank you

espresso

So tell us what you removed from msconfig then!

Do you run Outpost Firewall V 3.5 and WinRAR?

I was having this trouble for a few days, thought it was PSU, memory, etc (PSU is DEFINATELY dying but isnt unreliable yet)

Turns out (after a bit of googling) that the version of Outpost I was running conflicted with winrar, causing the blue screens.

Updating it solved the issue.

Hello. I diasbled the 'Security Services' option from the Start up tab in the msconfig box which i know isn't a good thing.
