Unrelenting BSOD calms after A/C's are on ... ?

Hi,

For the last month or so whenever I boot up the pc I have to do it 2 more times before it'll behave. It either reboots by itself, I am frozen or I get a BSOD. For another month prior to the problem above I'd randomly reboot or get a BSOD while online or just sitting at my desktop.

I did a HD test and that came out fine. I have 3 fans in my pc (counting video card) and all are working. I have had my air conditioner's on for 4 days straight now and in this time .... no problems at all with my pc. Now I'm thinking it's a heating issue???? I don't usually get my pc serviced. I clean it out usually once a month. I can replace my own parts, have my windows disk to reformat if needed, and I use forums to help me with issues. However, the last time I did, several years ago, the guy told me that I could use a larger tower. So maybe it is a heating issue?

I want to stress that I am not very computer knowledgeable so when explaining things to me, please use layman's terms.

I am attaching that zip file that was asked of me.

Thank you :)

Hi Wayne,

Thanks for helping. I downloaded Speccy. CPU temp - 55 C, Motherboard - 57 C, Graphics - 41 C

I just got on so I'll go about my business and watch those temps. I'll let you know if there was a change. This thread says I'm subscribed to it, but I didn't get an email saying their was a reply. Am I missing something? I'll check back later. Thank you!

I was just thinking about the prior post about letting you know if the temps change. That doesn't matter since I have problems booting up after being off the pc for hours. Maybe the a/cs should be off?

2nd problem!! My pc has been checking for updates for about 90 mins if not more.
The other night I checked for updates but after about 20 mins I just cancelled it.

... ok so I love this site becuz I got a BSOD while typing the above, but when Firefox brought this page back .. my message was sitting here as I left it. Awesome! Well it took 3 times to get back on. I got the blue screen. I started up in safe mode. I restarted after seeing if I could check for updates via safe mode - not that I could see. Then while restarting I got a black screen with a blinking cursor on the top of the screen toward the left.

The "Update Standalone Installer", how long should that take because it's been searching for about 5 minutes now.

I needed to reboot, I think. That's why it scanned forever. I got this message "this update is not applicable to your computer"
