You don't have to manually download hotfixes.
Are you using Windows 7?
Click Start
In "Search programs and files", type...
To blue screen the computer means one of three things:
1. Driver issue
2. Operating system bug
3. Hardware issue

Install all hot fixes for your operating system.
Update all drivers for your motherboard with the latest versions from asus.
Update the video driver with the latest from Nvidia.

If you are still getting blue screens after this, note the module in error, not just the error code.

Do I just download hot fixes and unzip them?
And would it cost a lot to have like a small computer place do it for me?
I just clicked on the hot fix for the 0x0000003b one and all it did was unzip itself I think
 


You don't have to manually download hotfixes.
Are you using Windows 7?
Click Start
In "Search programs and files", type update.
Click "Windows Update"
Click "Check for updates"
Use this tool to install the updates found.

Drivers from Asus will need to be installed manually.
Often these extract to a folder and then you have to run a setup file.
