Random "Serious Error"
Hello,
Every so often when playing a game, I get a blue screen with white text (Maybe a BSOD) on it and then my PC reboots it self before I get a chance to read any of it, I have had around 5 over the last few days now and it's rather frustrating, losing saved games and such. I think it is memory related, I am unsure though.
My memory is: "1GB Corsair XMS" if that is of any use.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

If not RAM, I would say so and probably start a thread in the security area with a note that it is not RAM.
If it happens ONLY when the computer has been on for a long time, could be overheating-- say if that is happening and we can explain how to CLEAN the computer so it does not overheat as much.
Those are the three big issues I can think of other than a corrupt or wrong driver or corrupted HD install of Windows or failing HD. We need more info to isolate this down to one fix, so expect some give and take of info.
Thanks for your help though.
Turn off the 'automatic restart on error' option in windows, and it will leave the screen up for you to write down the error codes. Then search Microsoft's troubleshooting site for the error codes, and it will tell you exactly what is throwing the error out.
It might be something easy.
