So I recently got the first ever blue screen error on the PC. The PC itself is, I would guess half year old?

When the blue screen appeared I had to manually press the reset button to restart(which is not a problem for me).

After restarting I started windows normally. Then everything was back to normal with no problem.

If I was to guess I would say I overloaded my PC by being on too many sites at once, but I don't know if that is even possible?

This could have been the result of many things. Heat, RAM timing, Processor malfunctioning, etc. Your best bet is to try to recreate the blue screen. If successful, there is a hexidecimal error code for each blue screen. Usually something like 0xc0000835 or whatever. Google that error code and it will point you in the direction of the cause.
