Random BSOD's, error 0x0000001e
For the past few months, my computer has been randomly deciding it doesn't like whatever i'm doing, and having a good ol' fashioned BSOD. It very rarely lets me know what the error is before restarting, so if it's due to any other errors, i don't know what they are - i only got this code from it recrashing while dumping the memory to disk.
I've tried a few basic things to try and sort it out (cleaned the registry, run various mal/spy/whateverware programs, etc), but i'm not that experienced with fixing computers - generally it comes down to a quick google search for the offending error.
The first BSOD's came immediately after my computer spent a month disconnected from the internet, and initially seemed down to Norton Antivirus (it came free, i thought the worst that could happen was that it wouldn't be very effective), due to various errors stopping once it was removed, but it's continued, and i can't work out any connection between the crashes and the programs i'm running at the time - it can crash 5 times in a day, or not have any problems for 2 weeks.
As far as i know, all the drivers are up to date, but again, i'm not that experienced - there may be ones i had no idea even existed.
Also, please, in your answers, treat me like i'm good at following instructions but a little thick. I'll be happy to give you any additional information you need, but don't assume i'll automatically know exactly what you mean, and if possible, link to any programs i might need.
Thanks.
