Hello,

If you need any additional information, please post it and I will reply asap.
Ok my BSOD information is in the attachments.
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x86(32-bit)
original OS: Windows XP
OEM or Full retail: This is actually a second hand pc i got from my cousin, he formatted the pc and reinstalled windows(with the official cd i guess)
Age of the system: about 3 years i guess
Age of the Os: 3 weeks
Ok so I'm guessing I found the problem...(take a look at the attachment)
If this is the problem, will placing some extra fans help? Or do i need to replace parts?
First thing you should do is check for dust. Due to the age of the system, that would be my first guess. The second would be the thermal compound has degraded or is not applied properly.
To remove dust, follow the subsequent general procedure. If you have a desktop bought from Dell, HP, Sony, Lenovo, etc. make sure removing the desktop casing will not void your warranty first. Call the company if you are still under warranty and ask if it is okay to remove the casing and blow dust out. The procedure described is fine for laptops; just make sure no stickers are on panels saying if you remove the panel it will void the warranty.
Shut down and turn off your computer.
Unplug all power supplies to the computer (AC Power then battery for laptops, AC power for desktops)
Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to close the circuit and ensure all power drains from components.
Remove the casing for a desktop, or remove any screwed on panels and disc drives for laptops.
Blow out the dust inside by using a can of compressed air or a low pressure compressor. You will want to put the computer on a desk or table so you can maintain the can in an upright position if using a can of air. Blow into all crevices on the motherboard, heat sinks, cards, modules, etc. for a desktop. Blow into vents, opened panels, disc drive areas, USB ports, and the keyboard if it is a laptop. You may also want to blow inside the disc drive by replacing the drive to the laptop, starting the computer, opening the drive, and then turning off the computer and removing all power as described above including the 30 second power button step. For a desktop, you may also want to blow inside the disc drive by starting the computer, opening the drive, and then turning off the computer and removing all power as described above including the 30 second power button step.
Replace casing for the desktop. Replace panels and disc drive (if you have not already done so) for the laptop.
Plug power supplies in. AC adapter for the desktop. Battery and then AC Adapter for the laptop.
Start the computer and see if performance is better.
