BSOD watching online videos/audio streaming.
My brother has a COMPAQ Presario CQ50-107NR Notebook PC, it came originally with Windows Vista OEM, but I had upgraded to Windows 7 Pro x64 in January. From the looks of it the laptop was manufactured in 2008, which makes it about 4 years old.
The issues he is having is, that whenever he is streaming videos on Netflix, Hulu, for a long period of time it stops responding, then it blue screens. The same thing occurs, when he is streaming music on Pandora. Other times it occurs randomily, but it simply stop responding, and I can't click on anything which leaves me to force shut down. I am thinking it is the Hard-drive since it was originally on a previous laptop, that kept crashing and the HDDs would always spoil. I am not sure if it is the Memory I installed, but I am clueless at the moment.
The laptop used to get real hot due to the CPU fans being blocked by dirt, but I resolved it when I cleaned the heat-sink and CPU fan.
If anyone can help me resolve this issue I would greatly appreciate it.
