BSOD Randomly, typically within half hour of starting up computer
I have been getting a BSOD sometimes. Sometimes the computer goes blank. Sometimes the screen just freezes and makes a loud noise as if it was an issue with the graphics card. Pretty much all of these occurences have happened with about a half hour of starting up my computer. I have been able to let it run afterward and play games through the night if I can power through these first hiccups. I have updated everything I can but nothing helps. I have quit shutting down my computer completely and just putting it to sleep, but the BSOD finally hit me today after trying that trick. My BSODs have been extremely inconsistent and after maybe about 7-10 of them, not one has said the same thing. Most the time they haven't been able to make a dmp file, but I have 3 of them that I was able to grab.
I hope I posted to this forum correctly as I am fairly new at this and been able to fix all problems on my own in the past. Thanks for any help that anyone can give me.
