are you using a nivida graphics card?
sometimes when you update the drivers for it, BSOD sometimes shows up, but it can be fixed pretty easily.
the next time you get a BSOD, write down the letters/numbers on that one sentence.
that combination is usually the label for what error you have.
either that or your running low on RAM or graphic card memory. not HDD space.

I am using a nivida cardOriginally Posted by imhungry
but I dont remeber updating it and I could really see what the bsod said pc restarted to fast>_> o I also only have 256 or somthing like that of ram but its been doing pretty good until now....
Edit: avg scan just found a trojan horse 3 of them (svchost or somthing) aand this thing that says ( found registry key with reference to infected file C:\WINDOWS\drivers\scvhost.exe)
Edit again: think I should stop the scan and let it do whatever to those files I magicaly have 21mb left

if BSOD mentions anything about "nv*whateverfilename*.dll", then its an nvidia driver problem.
as for the trojans, post up more details.

WHAT? How the hell do you lose RAM due to viruses? Sir, do you know what you're talking about? Seriously...do you? I think an OS takes more than 12 MB of RAM to run, and there's a difference between the space on your HDD and the amount of RAM you have.
Thread is epic fail.

i don't see how this thread is fail, he posted it in the tech section along with tech related problems.
unless by fail you mean his computer continuously getting BSOD, trojans and something eating up his ram.
and you do lose ram by viruses, if not through them. trojan downloaders, as an example, downloading large amounts of useless data, writing it on the HDD which uses RAM/CPU power,etc.
spice, if you're still having huge problems with your computer, i suggest posting your problems on a more tech savvy forum along with a Hijackthis log if you want to remove viruses completely. also your computer would probably shutdown due to low RAM.
also, open up Task Manager (CTRL ALT DEL), go to the processes tab and click on the Mem Usage tab. if there's anything suspicious, search it up on google, especially the ones that are using a large amount of memory. make sure your computers idle while you're doing this.
