Windows 7 BSOD upon taking actions

[Cathal O Sullivan]

My computer started blue screening recently whenever i take a seemingly random action. the other day it blue screened when i just clicked my browsing history to find a page i didnt book mark, sometimes when i try to Alt+Tab out of a game, sometimes when i try to maximise a game i just Alt+Tabbed out of. I read that sometimes Alt+Tabbing can have negative effects on a PC but im not sure i dont know what kind of information i should be giving here, but any help is appreciated.

Hello and welcome to the forums.

First make sure your machine is configured properly to facilitate the collection of .dmp files.

Go to Start and type in sysdm.cpl and press Enter
Click on the Advanced tab
Click on the Startup and Recovery Settings button
Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked
Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box
Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump << where your .dmp files can be
found later.
Click OK twice to exit the dialogs, then reboot for the changes to take effect.
