Doesn't crash after restart
With the help of my brother, I built my new system from parts. It seemed to work OK at first, but started having random blue screen crashes on desktop or running browsers (Opera or IE). It seemed to happen mostly when it was idle. Running games worked flawlessly. The crashes came more and more frequently, so I decided to do a full reinstall. The problem came back after a couple days.
The funny thing is, I discovered that if I started the system normally, then shut it down completely again, and then restarted it, it would work fine, no problems at all. Doesn't make any sense to me, but it works. Anyone have any ideas what's going on?
