Blue Screen of Death

First of all, this is my first time posting, and I'm not sure under what heading it should go but here goes.
A few days ago, I started getting the Blue Screen of Death. I get it about 3 times a day. I have read some other sites that mention drivers, new hardware, etc., but I've changed nothing. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this? I am kind of new to computers. Thanks.

 

Hi I don't see a place to post BSOD. Here's a place to start until you get a better suggestion!

Hi BeachGaBulldog,


There could be a great many reasons for such a problem. Could you tell what error code you are getting? As you are worried about your hard drive I would suggest running a diagnostics test on it with a brand specific tool to see its health. You can post the SMART results here after the extended test. Also providing information about your build could help.
Other than that, as a basic level of troubleshooting, I would suggest making sure all your cables and components are firmly in place. Another thing would be to monitor your components temperatures. Running a malware scan wouldn't hurt. Are there any other symptoms?
Taking a look (and possibly posting a screen shot) of “Windows even viewer” would be helpful as the problem could be caused by software.
You can also consider running a memory test and a complete stress test of your system.
Another thing to check out is memory leaks. Here is an article that can help you with that: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms859408.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396


If none of that helps we could start looking into hardware problems, however, you should provide more information about your system for that.
P.S. Check out the link that @donatao provided.


Keep us posted,

Give me your pc specs. What were you doing when it gave you the blue screen?

 

Thank you for the input. I got so frustrated, I finally just decided to take it to a repairman, after wrestling with the problem for a couple of days.
