Know how I know?

Because, sometimes, it BSoDs.

And sometimes, the BSoD freezes while compiling the crash log.

Yeah. I'm screwed.

I'm posting on the computer right now. It BSoDs very sporadically.


did you try:

registry fix

defragment

removing junk

virus scan

malware scan

this used to happen to me until i fixed my registry. :o

Look up the stop code and fix that (bad memory, get new memory, graphics problem, reinstall drivers, etc). Write it down from the blue screen, but if you forget, you can look it up in the event viewer (under administrative tools in the control panel).

Excellent, thank you

Also the event ID for BSOD errors is 1001, the source should be bugcheck. You only need the first number of the stop code. I should add that sometimes technet is helpful and sometimes it's not. It usually has very specific solutions to each OS, if you don't find a good answer or it doesn't work try google.

For example, since I built my computer back in January, I've had two BSODs with the stop code 0x0000003b, one of Feb 13 and another on Feb 17. According to technet, this means a "A computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 may crash when you use some IEEE 1394 devices." I've never used an IEEE 1394 device with this computer, I don't even own one nor does my motherboard have a port for it. A quick google search leads to this question on answers.microsoft.com, where people say it's probably a graphics driver error (which is what I expected and the cause of most BSODs in my experience). I updated my graphics driver and haven't had a BSOD since.
