My computer has been blue screening a lot lately

[Molasses]

I know this isn't a tech forum, but there are usually some helpful replies. My computer has been blue screening when I play games. The screen will go black and after a few seconds, there are couple things that may happen. Some times it just goes straight to a blue screen. Other times the computer will recover and be fine. Other times, it will seem to recover, but soon artifacts will appear all over the place, often followed by a blue screen.

I have no clue what the problem is. I updated my graphics drivers. I cleared my case and hardware of dust. I don't know what to do next.

Too high RAM usage etc.

How can I fix that?

[Pacnet2012²]

Upgrade your RAM.

Or open 1 program at all times.

I have 4 gigs.

How old is your PC?

Post a picture of the blue screen, the 0x codes can help us find your problem.

If you're dual-booting your Mac with the boot camp drivers, it's a buggy clump of drivers so it tends to blue screen.

No? It can happen on Windows Vista and 7, too.

Wikipedia's BSoD page has no listings for Vista and 7, but yes 8.

My brother's computer has blue screens, but what happens is it just restarts and a window pops up saying Problem : BlueScreen. Win 7
