• Main computer crashes after a few minutes of use and I don't know what's wrong
    5 replies, posted
So I'm not a computer expert so I can't just take apart my computer and check the insides to see what's up. Anyway...this problem's been happening since Thursday of this week while I was talking to my friend. All of a sudden my computer froze and the screen turned to black. I couldn't do anything so I restarted my computer. As soon as I tried to log back into my computer I was met with a black screen. Again, I couldn't do anything so I restarted my computer again. This time after a few seconds after I log back in, my computer gets a BSOD and restarts. This problem's been happening every day since and I have no idea what to do. At first I thought it was because I had my computer on too long and it was overheating so I stopped using it for a while but uh I'm not entirely sure. I can't log in without crashing or just having a black screen so I can't check my specs. All the help I can get would be greatly appreciated and I'll do the best I can to provide any information I can give you guys to try to help me. Also, my computer can run fine in safe mode, it's only when I try to start windows normally. Thought I'd add that in case it helps
Write down what .sys is causing the BSOD. If it's a black screen, there isn't much you can do except check what drivers/programs might be causing the problem.

get HWmonitor and post what it says
Blue screens wont say update drivers, they will give you the error and a STOP code, without these if your computer is blue screening we can't determine the problem.
My computer is doing something similar to yours. When I geet a black screen, there is a red light on my video card (and I know there's nothing wrong with my video card). I believe it has to do with a corrupted file, registry or driver. [editline]11:11AM[/editline] Try doing a restore or a repair. You should also update your drivers and your bios.
