BSOD watching a movie on VLC help
Hey, so I received the BSOD a few times about a week ago, but I wasn't aware at the time that that's what I was receiving. The reason being is because each time I seen it I would freak out and turn the power off on my tower before I could get a good look at what was actually going on. And because the first time it happened everything just sort of froze up similar to the way it does sometimes when the tower just needs to be blowed out. So naturally I went and blew it out and a week later it is doing the same thing. I knew that couldn't be right, so I checked it this time and it was the BSOD informing me that it was *collecting data for a crash dump*.
I have no experience with this at all, so I thought I would come here preemptively to try and get some info before I lose everything. So any advice would be helpful?
*I'll post the Zip file I'm supposed to post in the comments section.
