Trouble With New Lappy :(

Okay, for the past few days, if I leave my computer on for about 2 hours, it gets BSOD, or it freezes, completely, no hard drive activity, nothing. It happens when I'm doing anything, gaming, web browsing, or even idling. Is this a sign of a virus? Or is a driver causing the problems?

Has this been happening ever since you bought the computer? If not, can you think of anything you have installed which (like you said) might be having driver problems.

If you have a linux live cd anywhere try running it off that for a few hours or give memtest a go to see if it is bad memory.

If it crashes in the live cd then it probably isn't a drive issue but a hardware one and memtest will tell you if there is anything wrong with your ram.
