My computer has recently starting crashing and I have no clue what's wrong, mostly because I don't really know anything about computers. If anyone can help I would be so thankful!
My computer keeps crashing on me. A blue screen comes up and tells me my computer is shutting down to protect itself. It gives me messages like IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or PAGE_IN_NONPAGED_AREA or BAD-POOL_CALLER or KERNAL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR, etc. and then "dumps physical memory to disk". I get different stop messages each time, and occasionally a system file listed as the cause of my troubles. I've done viral scans of my computer (using AVG), tried unplugging my memory upgrades, dusting out my computer and keeping it disconnected from the internet/network connections. I have roughtly 2.0 GB of space and one day found only 183 MB left. I deleted some files and have cleared up 17 GB of space. Nothing seems to help. Also it has been making some aweful grinding noices, leading me to suspect my fan was broken. I did a check on the computer and the CPU tempereatures are in normal ranges although the "board" temperatures are a little high. If it's not a fan I have no idea what's going on... can someone help me please?
Thanx
