Yesterday I was watching an HD video in youtube when suddenly I got blue screen and my pc restarted. I tought it was nothing and went back to watch the video and again a blue screen appeard. Then I tought firefox was bugged so I watched the video in google chrome and again a blue screen appeard. Then I left my pc idle on the desktop and I checked the temperature it was 30 degrees celcious when doing nothing and 65-70 degrees when playing games. I figured out that the blue screen appears within 5-10 minutes when I turn on my pc no matter what the temperature is and what the pc is doing. What could be the problem ?

a very common cause of this is a ram module that has gone bad, try to run your pc with just one module, if it stable for a long period of time, try add the next one until the problem reoccurs. hopefully your problem will be as easy as this, it is cheap and easy to fix. if not it may be something more serious...

ah, sorry. You may need to uncheck the "hide system files" option control panel / folder options first.
