After fixing a few issues with my computer's speed I've now noticed another problem has begun to pop up somewhat often. I will be in the middle of doing something and my computer will lock up for several seconds then go back to normal, then lock up again for several seconds and go back to normal and then give me the Blue Screen of Death moments after that. When I reboot the machine I get the error "NTLDR not found." and it tells me to reboot. Rebooting helps nothing and I simply get the error again.
This same issue happened awhile back on this same system and I reformatted to get rid of it. After that I found that I could just reset the BIOS every time I got the error to be able to boot up into Windows. So far this has happened three times, with two of the BSoDs occurring when I was playing Starcraft: Brood Wars and Half-Life: Natural Selection. While the NTLDR isn't too hard to fix once it occurs, I would like to know why it keeps occurring and what I can do to make it stop. Any help would be appreciated.
