The blue screen usually happens a few times a day, then the computer will start up again normally after rebooting. Sometimes the computer will beep after attempting to reboot, which is usually solved by just rebooting again. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? I'm guessing its a hardware problem

 

No, this is due to file corruption, and yes, this is of death since you'll need to reformat unless you go get it professionally analysed and repaired.

Get Windows 7, Vista is gay.

 

Update all you're drivers to start.

 

I have reformatted since it started.

 

also, it seems to happen most when i'm watching videos on youtube, not sure why

 

I don't know if this will be of any help (fingers crossed it is), but I experienced almost EXACTLY the same problem on my Mac computer. I had taken it in to be repaired multiple times, being told each time it was a software problem, and they would "Fix" it... a while later the problem would just resurface again.
Eventually they managed to source out that it was in fact a problem with my Graphics card, and it had to be replaced - Since then I have not encountered the problem once.

I am aware Vista and Macintosh are completely different running systems, but I'm just wondering if the problem has some kind of relation to mine...

 

yeah i've been told theres problems with my graphics card (x9 suggested it when my computer crashed whenever i tried to install windows 7). i'd like to buy a new one but i got no cash, so i guess i'll just have to suffer for a while.

 

Have you tried getting the most updated drivers for both the graphic card and flashing the bios to the newest version?

 

I just updated my graphic card drivers and it happened again, and I ahve no idea how to flash the bios

 

Are you on Vista /win7 or XP? I would download driver program and update all drivers, as well as update windows(windows updates) if it hasnt been done or is off.
