Random blue screens and crashes on Packard Bell ixtreme desktop PC

[TheEnvoy]

So, yeah, a couple of weeks ago the desktop PC I've got (a Packard Bell ixtreme, intel i3 processor, etc. Basically exactly what it comes with) started randomly crashing and blue screening, sometimes just three or four minutes after logging in, sometimes at the welcome screen, sometimes at the Starting Windows screen, and sometimes a few hours into using it. Eventually, I started Googling various things that could be wrong and I found things like it may be overheating (not that, we cleaned it out and started it up again and the PC still crashed), CPU may be f*cked (yet it's fine), etc. However, it appears that the crashes only happen on one account, or after that account has been used.
So, after copying the important files (overall only about 1 GB) I deleted that account and made a new one, and so far the computer hasn't crashed once.

I'm relieved, but still a bit jumpy about the whole thing.

What I wanted to know was, could anyone explain what was going on?

Sounds like Windows shit itself, nothing new there.

That is very true.

So it's nothing to worry about, since I've changed accounts?
