I may go hours without incident. Then suddenly a restart. I am using Mcaffee A/V with firewall and have scanned for spy/adware. Even messed with video driver. Have done all updates, etc...Computer says it has recovered from a serious error but usually gives no error code. I report it everytime but recieve no repair tips. Should I do a recovery? I even Reinstalled IE7 and scanned registery for errors and repair. Is my video card going to hell? I don't know!!! Bout ready to give up!!!

It can be a H/W error or some driver errors or some incompatibilities between drivers and the H/W. It is difficult to judge through mails.

Go to your Control Panel and then to System. Click on the Advanced tab and in the area of the Startup and Recovery, click the Advanced button. In there you can turn off automatically restart. Next crash should give you a blue screen of death and the error code. You can then look up that error code to find out what the problem may be.

I'm guessing there's something wrong with the pagefile windows is creating... Try recreating the pagefile, hope it will solve the problem. To do this here is what you must do:
Go to Virtual Memory settings (right click on My Computer->Properties->Advanced->Performance->Settings). Now you should change it so click change and for Paging file size for selected drivers click No Paging File and then Set.
After this clcik System Managed Size and restart.
If it doesn't solve the problem i'm guessing it's the antivirus fault...

Something like this is typical of memory (RAM) that is beginning to fail, or already has a serious fault. Try replacing your RAM with another known good stick (preferrably a new one).
Another way to test your RAM....get on Google and search for "Ultimate Boot CD". Go to the site, download and burn the CD. There are several memory test programs on there, that work at a low level (in other words, without Windows). You might be surprised at what you find

scan your system for virus and run malwarebytes you can get it free on the web. Run check disk as well to see if their is any issue with the hard drive. Run the resource and performance monitor as well which will check all the system components and gives up result so you will know the next step of action. you can post it and I will help you out. to do this follow 1.Choose Start→All Programs→Accessories→System Tools→Resource Monitor this could also be a driver issue, did you install any hardware of recent.

if it was happening to me, i would back up all the important files and do a fresh reload of windows. once you reload the os and your saved files, and the problem persists then it is a hardware issue. make sure when you back up your files that you scan them with a anti-virus software before reloading them on your system, you can never be too safe. good luck

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
