I've been getting restarts randomly more and more often now. It seems to only happen when I have either a game open in the background or I have a video editing program open (I use power director 13)
Then when it boots back up, I get this Windows popup saying "Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown"
Problem Signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen

Yes there is more but I don't think that's important. If you do need it just ask.

Is my computer weak? I have a
FX6300, 8GB RAM, GTX750 SC 2GB.

Will be upgrading to a 4790k and 16GB of RAM after summer. Hopefully that will solve it cause right now I think it's because my computer doesn't have enough RAM.

So do any of you guys know what might be causing this? If it's too little RAM, I can buy 16GB.
I'm going to download a anti-virus now to check my system for any viruses. I'll update later.

Update: I can't even install BitDefender! The installer just closes and says there's a problem.

What do you mean BlueScreen code?

The Additional information about the problem section for BCCode says "101"

This time the blue screen actually... appeared? Like you actually see a blue screen. But when I originally posted this thread, my computer just restarts without ever showing a blue screen.

I'm going to keep the Problem Details open.

I do have my CPU overclocked a tad bit. Using a FX6300 with stock cooler. stock 3.5GHz, I overclocked to 3.8GHz. Now according to CPU Temp, my CPU is in the green zone so that... i dont know about.
