    there is a "online hardware scan" option on the previous page, try writing down any error messages your getting and post them with your scan

    Hello I am having the same exact priblem as the first guy posted, and it happens always in games, meaning it has to do wiht GFX card RAM or just physical RAM itself, I get the big blue screen that stuck just once, and the rest it just doesn't say it jsut restarts the computer. I get the error saying Your computer has encountered a fatal error, and something saying it was trying to write on read-only files. I will post the code error at the end, but in the meantime here are my computer specs, 75% the same as the first guys posted.
