Hi trevor2 and welcome to Geeks2Go!

Blue screens can be caused by quite a few things including drivers, Windows issues and hardware.

Please attach the minidump files (.dmp) from the folder c:\windows\minidump so that we can have a look at them and try to figure out what is causing this.

[trevor2]

hey thanks for checking out my post.

i had troubles adding individual .dmp files

Thanks for uploading the minidump files.

I've had a look at the minidump files and there isn't a specific driver or file causing the issue. One references ntoskrnl.exe, another two wininit.exe and another one states that hardware was the possible cause.

This could be a hardware issue, driver or other software.

The first thing I would try is a test of your RAM. I use Memtest86+ for RAM testing. Download and burn the ISO image to a CD, boot the laptop using the CD and let the test run a couple of hours.

I think this topic may need to be moved to the hardware section, i'll see if a mod can move it.

Next you might want to run chkdsk. Open Command Prompt and type chkdsk c: /r .This will scan and fix hard drive errors and mark bad sectors as unusable.

hey i ran fur mark and it crashed my computer nearly instantly. which makes me think its my graphics card.

is the one i have in there currently a good one?

or should i buy a different brand?

Unfortunately you can't change the graphics card in a laptop as it's built into the motherboard.

This the laptop covered by a warranty?
