So yes.. My computer, as many others, suffers from black screen and then crashing.. It happens at random times, and the absolute WORST part is I have no idea what it's from. I've tried so many things and nothing worked. Even, literally yesterday, it was being "repaired" by a mechanic. So, he said that it worked perfectly and everthing for 3 hours straight. No problems or anything, but when I got it home, BAM, crashing after the first 3 minutes. Needless to say I was going crazy.
My question is could it possibly be from my video card? Or do I need more RAM? I'll be posting my specs in a few since I'm currently undergoing a check with memtest86 since I saw a few threads about it.. Thanks in advance!

Could be powersupply. Those are the symptoms if the PSU doesn't provide enough wattage.
