Blue screen of death 7-10 times daily

My computer crashes several times a day. I've restored it two times this
week. The first time just to see if the BSOD would go away & the second
because when I would start my PC up it would tell me that a system
restore was mandatory & to contact my manufacturer. It wouldn't even go
to the start screen.

Common triggers are usually when I would watch youtube videos or any
other videos that were embedded online and listening to music. Its
really been an unavoidable nuissance. I have no other ideas and nobody
has seemed to help.

Suggestions please? I am literally pulling my hair out about this.

jackieeffinbby,

You need to post the BSOD error (0x******). From 'Control Center > System >
Advanced System Settings > Advanced tab', click Startup & Recovery
'Settings'. Uncheck 'Automatically Restart', click OK.
This will allow you to read the BSOD error. Could be a video driver issue.

Run the hardware diagnositic tools and see what (if any) errors come up.

Constant blue screens are an indication of a hardware or driver problem.
Most likely suspects are bad RAM and flaky video card drivers.

Follow Drew's suggestion, but you should try to replace your flash player.
There have been problems with Flash10, so you may want to try an earlier
version.

Hi,

The "common clues" you listed are strong evidence that the root cause is
likely a video codec that you installed. Consider what has been added prior
to the onset of this issue. I have seen reports that K-lite in particular is
known to cause crashes in Vista.

Check performance monitor to see what is crashing. You may need to
reinstall Vista.
