Hi,

I have a problem. By pc sometimes crashes. I do something and then it simple stopes: colorful stipes apears in the screen and sometimes sound apears too.

But more often my pc restarts.

Maybe someone knows what could cause this?

Thanks

when it restarts do you get a blue screen? if not, then its more then likely a dying PSU or overheating.

Id say your PSU is dying or your machine is overheating..be it dust clogged in the PSU/heatsinks or no ventilation.. gfx card maybe..

the blue screen is telling you what went wrong. take note of the error message and we can tell you more.

the error message is in a line about the 2nd or 3rd down on the blue screen. they all say dumping physical memory/etc towards the bottom. Something like IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL etc is something that we are looking for.
