A blue screen appears saying windows has to close to protect your computer and something about beginning memory dump.Once the ciomputer started making some very loud noisesfor a couple of minutes before i got it to turn off. When i restart it seems to be going ok until the next time it happens. Any one know why its doing this and how i can get it sorted out. cheers

    Noise doesn't sound good. Any chance you could post the exact error message details?

    What kind of a noise?

    Strange loud noises are usually mechanical in nature. That usually points to fans or disks.

    If the PC is ok after a while I expect the noise is from the fan bearings. The fan can't cool the CPU sufficiently, the CPU overheats and the PC starts exhibiting strange behaviour and/or shuts down. When you restart it later the CPU has cooled sufficiently to operate correctly until it overheats again.

    Of course, it may not be the fan. Get someone who knows what they're doing to have a look (or listen, in this case).
