Hey there,
Unfortunately, I am 100% clueless as far as software/hardware problems go, so please be gentle.
So I've had several blue screens now. To me it seemed to happen at random times, usually about half an hour to an hour after I restarted the computer.
The only program that was open during all of the blue screens was Firefox.
I wrote down the message, Windows spit out:
---
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
A process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or been terminated.
...
(Some not very useful tips)
...

I googled a bit and now I think it might be my RAM?
If so, how do I check for it?
Any help is much appreciated,
