CPU: intel i5 2400 bought in 2011
RAM: 8GB
Sytem : Windows 7 Home Premium
Hard drive: A lot of internal harddrives connected 4-5 I forget
PSU: Antec Neo Eco 400c
Board: Basic Asus board

No display card

Computer NOT normally turned off. Often 7/24
only screen switched off during the night

Don't play any games or any video editing


Symtpons
- Bluescreen suddenly appears - not very often - once every month
- Sometimes whole screen freezes when lots of Chrome tabs are opened, and it has to be restarted



Is it a sign of hardware fialure? Anyway I can check it?

Agreed with doing some RAM testing first. Simplest and easiest test. Next thing would be (as mentioned) try a different PSU if you have one lying around, if you don't, get a -good- one in the 500w-600w range (if you ever decide to go with a discrete GPU - plan for the future after all!) and see if that does it.

Another thing you could do is get a utility called BlueScreenView by NirSoft - it's a utility that will tell you the cause of any BSOD's - and give you details (ie: drivers, etc) so you can track down what it might be.
