My computer behaves weird today.
It crashed 3 times, all with a bluescreen.
The first time I was playing Minecraft. I was exploring stuff. Then, suddenly, a bluescreen appeared.
The second time I programmed something. A bluescreen, again.
The third time I was on Youtube. I switched tabs, then, again, a bluescreen showed up.
I've virus scanned my comp 2 times, with different programs. No viruses.
Do you have any help?
Don't say checkdisk please, because I did that like 1000 times.

Re: My computer behaves weird today.
Did you defragment your hard disk?

No viruses, as the first post said.

Re: My computer behaves weird today.
If you don't have a software fault then it must be a hardware fault.
Need to check.
RAM
HD
CPU
MOTHERBOARD
Try taking out the hard drive and putting it in a computer you know that works and boot from it in that computer. If it still blue screens and is not a software issue you will lose your hd very soon.
If it stops then you need to test the others. The RAM is the next easiest. Put the hd back in the computer and install new RAM. If it doesn't stop then you need basicly a new computer (CPU and Motherboard is what I consider to be a computer as they can do pc stuff on their own)

You're right, too bad I don't have another computer 
And my parents only have laptops...
I'll get a new RAM and a new CPU soon, let's see if it fixes it

Re: My computer behaves weird today.
Backup your system and re-install windows. See if that helps
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello!

Re: My computer behaves weird today.
You may have corrupted RAM. Try taking out 1 RAM board at a time and see if it runs better with a board out. If it works better with a certain one removed, replace that board.

It's a sign! Your computer wants you to go buy terraria and see how awesome-r it is.

Sorry. I don't have any advice.

Re: My computer behaves weird today.
I don't actually know much about comps. 
Though I pretend i do.
What protection do you have? If you have Norton, I've heard that's bad.

Ask me what I'm doing, wait an hour than roll a die, if it's 4-6, I'm playing Skyrim, if it's 1, I'm eating, if it's 2-3 I'm programming.

I have a computer with bad RAM and it works fine. (The 1gb RAM has 1000's of errors)
Make sure you check to see if any program has updated since it started happening sometimes updates might not be compatiable with the hardware.

Re: My computer behaves weird today.
@jji7skyline: I could try that as well. If I only had an external HDD that's big enough...
@PW132: That's what I thought. I'm going to get new RAM soon, let's see if that fixes it
@zbugni: A great idea! Thanks! (jk)
@nickbrickmaster: I have MS Security Essentials.
@bbbeb: I have a HDD cleaner, and I use it regularly
@what-the: No program has updated 
The bluescreen message is "segmentation fault in nonpaged area" (I know what that means, by the way.) I'll try and replace the RAM as soon as possible
