Meh

Hmm... The new computer is a mixed bag. On the one hand, it can play Steam games on high graphics with a very high fps. The downside: it's very unstable. When I first took possession of this computer, it ran Steam games beautifully, but crashed after several hours of gameplay. No problem, I thought, I'll just restart it and launch the game again. But alas, it was not to be so. After about half an hour, it crashed again. I decided to let it sit for a while. The next day, I got about an hour of gameplay before it crashed again. After a while, the crashes turned into BSODs, and appeared about five minutes into a game. I sought the help of some friends, and decided to restore settings to about a week before the BSODs started happening. After that, the games ran beautifully, without crashing. After that, however, there was a SNAFU that involved an error screen whenever I started up the computer. The noob who sold me the computer gave me a Windows XP Professional disk, and I started from scratch. And then, inevitably, the games have started crashing again. Can anyone help this poor noob?
