Hello all.
For the past month or so my computer has been crashing on a consistent basis and when it reboots and I have sent the error report I am greeted with this:
Error caused by a device driver
Thank you for sending an error report to Microsoft.
Error report summary
Error type: Windows stop error (A message appears on a blue screen with error code information)
Solution available? : No (see Next steps)
What does this error mean?: Windows has encountered an error from which it cannot recover and needs to restart
Cause: Unknown device driver
Computer symptoms: A message appears on a blue screen with error code information (for example: e.g. 0x0000001E, KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED)
Additional steps for you to take :Important: Please continue to send error reports so analysts at Microsoft can study and try to correct the problem as quickly as possible

We have analyzed your error report and at this time are unable to determine the exact cause of the error. However, Microsoft will continue to analyze this error report to try to determine the specific cause of the error. If we are able to find the cause and correct it, and you encounter the same problem, you will receive an updated response that includes instructions for resolving the problem.
The first time my computer crashed I was watching a video on UTube. For awhile it only happened when doing this, however it later would restart more often and seemingly randomly, for example, it would restart while doing things like: Virus scans, surfing the internet, listening to music, watching movies, burning a CD/DVD, using photoshop, basically it would just crash during regular use. My computer is running incredibly slow now and I'm constantly getting weird error messages and this odd black screen upon start up.
I'm only mildly computer literate, I don't even know how to figure out what my system specs are, so I'm hoping someone here could help me out.
It would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Edit: Removed bold type.
