could it be ram? the BSOD goes away within seconds so I can't read anything on it, then it goes to black screen and beeps repeatedly.
i am able to log on and do shit, but then it gets bsods, which leads me to believe its not the hard drive. it easily could be though, there are high pitched very quick BEEP's coming from it every once in a while |

| Last issue I've heard that was similar to that was caused by RAM, so that could possibly be the issue. |

Try buying new RAM. Is cheap now. If that doesn't fix stuff then panic and buy all sorts of new parts, like a motherboard.

how long untill this happens? It could be that your fans are dusty and thus don't cool your system causing it to over heat and shut down.

Pretty sure there's a boot option that makes it so you don't restart or anything on BSODs.
Use it, and check what the error really is. |

I had something like that, except it would open a random advertisement on IE whenever it felt like.
I went into safemode and fixed it lickety split. |
