    Jesus no, that should be plenty I'd say. Is it a laptop or desktop? Try opening the case if it's a desktop. U might have a loose connection. Something similiar happened to me, windows kept restarting and it was due to the ram not be fitted properly (my own fault :o )

    Ok, on a more serious note, I had a similar problem when playing FIFA 2005, the laptop would just freeze. No crash, no BSOD, nothing, just frozen.

    What fixed it was updated drivers, the old favourite. Make sure and update the drivers on other items aswell, such as sound card, joystick, etc.

    Could be a heat problem, Leave the side of the case off. And get a desk fan to blow into it if you have one. If the crashing now stops, you know it is a overheating problem.

    Tired all

    Cleaned alot of dirt away form fan.

    Thought everything was ok. but it happened again. and didnt restart. screen
    just went blue with windows text

    all i got to read was last line and it siad
    windows was dumping memory out of the ram. or something like that.

    had to turn it off as i thought it was going to blow up.

    Come to think of it i bought this cpu 13 months ago its an advent and it is a replacement as the 1st wount had a power problem after 1 week.
