Windows Error Reporting:
Blue screen error caused by a device or driver
I had this problem ever since i got my PC. It is a 2nd hand PC so I really dont know what settings are there or so but I got annoyed by this problem that 2 or 3 times I got this PC reformatted. Unfortunately, I had genuine windows but after reformatting at a PC shop, they installed a fake one... (didnt know until it was like 2 months, and i dont have the key thingy to this PC...)
Okay, the problem is that whenever my PC plays a high graphic game or even limewire. or some times when there are too many programs open, the PC shuts down and restarts again. The PC frequently freezes too (especially while using Photoshop).
The title says "blue screen error" but its only sometimes that the blu screen with the warning comes out. Most of the times, the PC just restarts...
I sent an error report to Windows and I got this:
