Chronic Crashing

[guyguy94]

Hey Guys,

     I have a problem with my computer where about every hour it will crash, and reboot after giving me the blue screen. Just before it crashes, the fan speed will increase dramatically for about 5-6 seconds. Im pretty it is not something where I will have to buy anything new, as I have had this problem in the past, and fixed it at one point. Unfortunately I can not remember how. I am not quite sure if it is a Vista problem but i'm posting it here just in case. If you need any information, feel free to ask.

                             Thanks in Advance!

Let's see what SpeedFan will show.
What about my question #3?

[guyguy94]

Sorry to sound completely ignorant but what is BSOD?

[Broni]

giving me the blue screen

BSOD = Blue Screen Of Death

oh, it says a lot but it only flashes up for about 3 seconds, any way I can look at it longer?

[guyguy94]

comp just crashed again, dont know is SpeedFan did anything

[Broni]

any way I can look at it longer?

1. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.

2. Click the Advanced tab (Vista: click Advanced system settings).

3. Under Startup and Recovery, click Settings to open the Startup and Recovery dialog box.

4. Clear the Automatically restart check box, and click OK the necessary number of times.

5. Restart your computer for the settings to take effect.

SpeedFan doesn't fix anything. We want to see what your computer temps are.

OK, Im really sorry about that, BSOD has nothing to do with it, its only because my internet reciever thing is incompatable with vista

Everything hovers from around 30-45C

Keep using the computer, and watch those temps. See, if they go up with the time passing.
Your processor max temp is listed at 62.2C
