A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you’ve seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Run a system diagnostic utility supplied by your hardware manufacturer. In particular, run a memory check, and check for faulty or mismatched memory. Try changing video adapters.
Disable or remove any newly installed hardware and drivers. Disable or remove any newly installed software. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

This screen shows up often, and usually not with a reason besides perhaps that maybe the CPU is under load. So far it has happened when the computer has logged in, while I was running a CPU test (I personally think the CPU is having issues, next would be the graphics card), and while I try and overclock the CPU using a utility that has been safe for a long time now, I can reach 15%, and know that even when the termperature doesn't even get close to the limit, it can't handle 20% without restarting the computer. I think overclocking the CPU might be increasing the risk of crashing more than anything at the moment. Checking the logs of the CPU program, it should have finished. I can post that if need be.
I have run a memory diagnostic test and it hasn't come up with anything, so hopefully I won't be blaming the RAM. All four slots of them should have identical 1GB chips.
I don't think I have installed any new drivers, although I have reinstalled a computer on the network that I have made use the same workgroup name (MSHOME). That should be the only link, as well as the whole printer sharing thing (I didn't install anything additional).
The next best video adapter that I would have is the motherboard one, and that isn't prefered.
For any further computer specs, they should be viewable by clicking on that little computer icon next to my username.
At the very least I am looking to find out what hardware is causing the problem, so I can find out what should be considered taken back for warrenty reasons. If this becomes more frequent, I might take the whole computer back and see what they think.
Ps. The blue screen stays there until I restart the computer. Probably just a setting I chose.
