Well, I recently re-installed my windows, to Win7. After that, everything went great, I could play games, do whatever, without my computer crashing ect. Today, I tried to turn my computer on, I could hear the computer work, but the screen was just black. After a couple of tries, the computer turned on.
I ignored the fact that something was wrong with the startup, and went on to play League of Legends ( game ) . After about 10 minutes in game i got a blue screen, which was there for about a second. I didnt get any time to read what the error message was, but the computer just restarted. I turned it on again, went to play. This time the screen went black and the computer restarted, but when the screen was just black and it didn't start before i restarted it manually a couple of times. My graphics drivers are up to date, not sure about the other drivers, since i dont have the drivers disc, but all drivers were working perfectly.. Even though I could browse on internet for as long as I want, without the pc crash, the computer crashed while being on the internet aswell.

Windows 7 home premium.
Processor : Intel(R) Core (TM) i5-2320 CPU @3.00GHz.
RAM : 6.00Gb.
64-bit Operating System.
Graphics card : Nvidia GEforce gtx 550 1gb.

Thanks for your answers.

It's a faulty stick of RAM or a defective RAM slot. Remove all but the first stick of RAM and try to start, if it gives you the black screen, take that stick out and put another in its place. Keep repeating until you boot and don't crash then you'll know which stick is bad.

It's weird, but yesterday I played without any problems for about 6 hours. I feel a little bit uncomfortable with the fact that I didn't do anything about it and it fixed itself.
