Windows 7 Random Blue Screen Crashes

[Mr Ibizza]

Hello , my PC has recently began to crash at random times and when i restart it and log in , a "blue screen error " message appears. This isn't the BSOD. The PC has been crashing for about 2 months and its getting really annoying.
Please share any idea you have that might fix this problem. Thanks!
