So, I've had this laptop for about a year or so now. It's pretty much a piece of junk, but it never really had this problem until the last 3 months or so. I'll constantly get the crash screen with the condescending frowny face. This happens 2 or 3 times a day, sometimes more, and tends to happen more frequently while I'm using something like Facebook or watching a Youtube video (Facebook especially seems to get a lot of them). I've also noticed that occasionally my internet browser will crash or take forever to load a page despite the other PCs in my home running just fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: I was able to catch it doing this twice last night and once this morning. The error codes I got were KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR and CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED. After the CRITICAL PROCESS_DIED error I had to restart the laptop 3 times before it finally worked as I kept getting the message "Windows did not start up correctly".
