My Computer Keeps Crashing For No Reason?

You could be having some system file corruption, or registry errors. It is also possible that it could be the type of spyware infection that norton does not find. If you have spybot search and destroy (found at http://search-destroy.com/), that would help find anything else as far as that goes. I also recommend downloading CCleaner (found at www.ccleaner.com, otherwise known as crap cleaner, it not only cleans useless files from your system, but it also scans the system for registry errors and it is very easy to use. Both of those programs are 100% free, they will cost you nothing, in fact they may help restore some peace. It also kind of sounds like your boot files are corrupted, check your plugs and make sure they are connected properly as well, if they are not plugged in completely, this can happen also. You could also have a damaged fan, which would cause your motherboard to overheat so check and make sure your fan is working and also touch the outside of the computer and see if it feels hot, if you check it in time, you could save the motherboard, if that was what it was, and if it was, you would need to get it repaired soon, because you could loose your motherboard and have to buy a new one due to overheating and being fried, that is another common reason this would happen. The crash may also be caused by faulty ram or device driver error, When Windows crashes with blue screen, it writes a system event 1001 or 1003 and a minidump to the folder \windows\minidump. If you back up all your files, you could try doing a system restore. Another thing I recommend doing if you don't already have a program that does this, is creating a ghost backup of the system so you won't have to do a complete reformat, this backs up everything as it is when you record it, it is an exact image of how you left it, only do this when your computer is in good working condition, so in case of a problem like this in the future, all you have to do is insert your ghost backup copy disks and like magic all your programs are back and running smoothly, there are some free ones out there, symantec has one that costs money, that is the one I use but if I had to get a new one, I would download a free one. If that does not work, the only other suggestion I have is to contact the manufacturer of your computer, such as HP, compaq or microsoft, whoever made the pc itself.

P.S.

I found you a list of download resources that are free on download.com they are system backup tools for ghosting and also other registry tools and such, though I suggest just sticking with the ccleaner for that part, it is sufficient. I hope this helps you, I'm sorry you are having issues.

Here is the link for those downloads as well.

Edited to answer second question about reinstalling drivers: First make sure you check the above issues, to rule other possibilities out, then if you find that none of those help, if you want to reinstall or update drivers, you need to do that from the device manager, which is the utility built into windows that controls that particular function and a list of all hardware with drivers that are on your system, and that can be found by going to the start menu then clicking on control panel, then double clicking on administrative tools, and then double clicking on computer management, and then selecting device manager from the list when the computer management box pops open and then checking each hardware device from within there, or the fast way is to click the start menu button from the task bar, the click run, and when the run box opens type in the command devmgmt.msc, that will bring up the device manager right away.

Greetings. My name's Sanjay Patel, and I currently hold an honorary Master's degree in the field of Computer Science. I am aware of, and have personal knowledge related to your question. There are computer maintenance businesses which are probably in your area, however they come at the cost of hiring a professional to enter your home. There may also be some local destinations where you can drop off your computer and wait to have a technician look at it. These options can often be costly, and pretty inconvenient. The answer to this question can probably be found doing a little extra research on Google.

A well-running computer can be a hard thing to maintain. From my experience, there is but only One software which is reputable- and consistently reliable for healing sick, slow computers. Reimage™ is a world-renown, easy to use software designed by Forensic scientists and made for the average person. This thing will fix literally just about ANY problem you could possibly be having with your PC. Reimage was recommended to me by a Professor during my 2nd year of Graduate school.

Registry errors are the most common cause for computer crash. The Windows Registry contains all vital information the computer references in order to operate. When your computer was brand new, the registry was in pristine condition. Over time, it gets disorganized because of new entries being added. Some entries become obsolete and no longer wanted. The registry therefore needs to be regularly cleaned. But manual cleaning is very difficult unless you are a computer expert. Removing the wrong registry entry can cause serious damage. For non experts, you need to have a registry cleaner installed. This software will fix all the registry errors it can find. It will locate invalid and useless entries and repair them.Having a good registry cleaner will restore your computer's original condition. You will be able to enjoy its speed and performance. More importantly, you can avoid computer crashes in the future.I should like to commend Registry Easy http://computer-work-smooth.com/ to you ! You can scan your pc for free! Good luck!

Not all software are Vista compatible, so I would check this first before blaming it on your RAM. Adding more RAM is allways good, especially now with Vista. Your programs will definetly start up faster and even "work" faster with 2 Gb. The other problem would be from drivers. Not all of them work as expected, so you should probably check this too. I tested Vista Business on an Athlon64 3800+ (single core version) and 1 Gb of RAM (with apropriate drivers from nvidia) and I didn't have any problems, expect with some programs that weren't compatible with Vista in the first place. When an update for them was available the problems were fixed.

Most Blue Screens of Death are from hardware failures or conflicts with operating system. More than likely your problem resides in the registry. Your registry contains all the hardware and software settings that reside in your OS. If something was changed due to a software installation, malware, etc, that could cause the BSOD. Download a registry cleaning utility and go from there. I recommend using the registry cleaner from PC Tools.

Mhh sounds like a driver problem try reinstalling the drivers and try safe mode see if that works if not take it too a repair shop or just backup your data and re-fromat. That happened to me and i just installed 1 driver and restarted when i installed the audio and restarted i got BSOD and i went into safe mode and updated the driver

try to get a program called "everest" and check the heat of the processor and mostly the Video card and see if your system is overheating. if it is it maybe time to upgrade to a new computer or replace the video card inside it
