[Problem] A lot of Blue Screens .. :(

Hi!
Recently I encountered more and more blue screens,
I do not remember exactly when it started, but I keep get blue screens.
I tried to format the computer after the problem began to worsen and it did not help.
I can say that I can know when is going to appear a blue screen, first of all
Internet disconnects and software not responding and then the blue screen appears and I need to do reset.
If you are interested the Minidump files, these are the files:

* Most blue screens appear when playing or watching a movie ..

Thanks, Eido.

Hello Dark Crystal,
It's a good idea to update your drivers, when you do, include your chipset drivers too.
You really need to set the Bios to default, to eliminate anything to do with the overclock.
Do you have your CPU set for Enhanced power saving ?, if so try disabling that.

Hello martin10522,
If you bought your PC from a manufacturer, say a Dell or a Sony, or what ever, then it wont be overclocked.
It's something end users do to boost there system, mostly people who build their own systems do it.
Hope this helps clear it up for you, if you need to know more just ask.

It wont be overclocked, but if you want to check you can go in to the Bios and check the settings there, that is where you would make all of the adjustments that are needed to overclock.

Most manufacturers lock the Bios to stop users tampering with the settings, if done incorrectly it can shorten the life of a PC at best, or worse, fry the IC's.

Well it would if not done correctly, but if your PC is a manufacturers model, it wont be overclocked.
Just to make sure, you have had this PC from new ?, and as i said most manufacturers lock the Bios.
What make and model is it, you need the default system specs and check against them, but it would be highly unlikely that it is overclocked.
Most BSOD are caused by bad drivers on machines that have never been overclocked.
The only reason i said in my previous post about unclocking it, was to take it back to the recommended default settings untill the BSOD problem was sorted.
