 if you get a blue screen (BSOD), you need to make notes ... first, disable automatic reboot (My Computer/Properties/System properties/Advanced/Startup&Recovery/Automatically Reboot [remove tick]) If you then have a BSOD and you take note, we could really help you. As it stands now, we haven't much to go on. Try running a 'chkdsk /r c:' (without hyphens) in a DOSbox (run: cmd) and see what that reports at the end (you must keep following its progress because the final message disappears rather quickly) ... Otherwise, download the HDD maker's diagnostic and make the bootable floppy or CD and boot up; run the full diag (overnight) and see what that tells you. You could run Memtest86 too. Could be a PSU problem too. Check the voltages and temps through MBM ...
