Sounds like it's just getting too hot.

What can I do to prevent this?

Clean out any dust blocking the vents/fans

I cleaned out my fan and vent with compressed air, but even with that I got another crash a few minutes ago.

No dumps were collected by the jcgriff2 tool, dumps may have been deleted. Did you run any system cleaners(such as Ccleaner) after the crash?
If so wait for the computer to crash and re-upload the file :)

I haven't recently... I'll get it to crash again and let it sit for a while on the black screen in hopes of a log being shown.

Here's the newest one. I let my computer sit for about 20 minutes on the blackscreen before I shut it off.

If I should leave it longer just let me know.

I see that you had some bluescreens back in March. Have you run any system cleaners in the past couple months?

Remove Daemon Tools until we get this sorted out.

Update your Intel network drivers - http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...20Applications

I removed Daemon Tools. I ran the SeaTools checks, both long and short. My computer passed both. I uninstalled my ATI Raedon Drivers, rebooted and installed the new ones. I also updated the Intel Network card like you said.

Even after doing all of this, I got the crash yet again.

yowanvista, you said that there were no mindumps in the file. Could my computer be automatically deleting them, or not generating them for some reason?

Also, I was looking at my event log after I rebooted and saw this:

Processor 0 in group 0 exposes the following:

3 idle state(s)
3 performance state(s)
8 throttle state(s)

I don't really know how to interpret this, but could it be contributing to my problems? This could be normal for all I know, but I just wanted to show this incase it helps at all.

Also, thanks for everyone's help so far! Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

Another thing just happened. I had a crash while alt tabbing to CS:S. After my computer froze, a black bar appeared across the screen and the screen began to fade to white.

Does this bar or type of crash signify anything?

I just looked and the crash last night produced a mini dump.

I ran the tool again after the crash and I found the minidump.
