Random solid colour crash

Hello there.
I got this problem where my screen turns into a random solid colour, making me unable to do anything and forcing me to manually turn off my pc. This is a really annoying problem since it leaves me unable to play ca. 30% of all games i install since it either crashes at the logo/loading intro or the main menu. 80% of the games i play will/does at some point crash. I have done alot of testing with these crashes, and it almost never happen when im in the middle of the action. It commonly happens at loading screens and menues, and to be even more specific right before or after a match. I have found out that i can prevent this 99% of the time by minimizing the game, though as soon as i pop it up again the risk of crashing reappears. The only exeption (99%) is if it crashes right when it starts up (This only occurs with one game yet) wich gives me no time to minimize. Youtube is also an important thing to mention. If i watch a youtube video in fullscreen mode, or watch 2 videos at once (Not nececarily in fullscreen) theres a big chance of my computer crashing (I got no % on it at this point) I use a 32. bit vista. I have checked for old drivers and they are all up to date.
This problem has been going on for right around 6 months now, but i have been too lazy to do something about it till now :)
I have seen other people with this problem before so i hope i might be able to find help on it here.
On advance thanks.

Thats not bad...

What cpu? Have you stressed it?

Have you checked your memory? You can use memtest86

I'm thinking this may be more of cpu/memory problem.

Hello again.
I apologize for not writing anything in a long time, but the problem dissapeared for some time but has now returned even worse than before.
To pick up from where we left: Can you please explain to me how to acces bios, and also please explain which parameters i should note. Its kinda like trying to teach a baby how to run before teaching it how to walk if you know what i meen :D.
Again, im sorry that i have not written anything in a while, but i hope to get a response soon.

Welcome back.

To run the memory tester, you just need to download, then unzip the file. Then just run the exe, i'd do it as the run as admin option when you right click it.

It'll prompt you what to do next.

Everything is working fine except that i do not know how to acces bios.
I have spend some time trying to figure it out, and i have also tried finding a solution on the internet but with no succes.

It's usually keep hitting the delete key when you turn it on.

If you tell me the mother board, or computer model, i'll look.
