Okey, To clarify the BOSD abbreviation, it stands for Blue Screen of Death(Doom), Here is my problem, I can stay on my computer for Hours on end, but If I would say go watch a youtube video, my computer will BOSD reboot and then repeat about 4 times more/less, then when I finally log on successfully(usually after I let it sit for an hour or so), windows will pop up an alert that tells me "Microsoft has recovered from a serious error, please submit this to Microsoft"~Differs a little from the actual message, but same general sense.So what I am asking is does anyone have any suggestions on this, or if someone has had this problem prior, By the way, I'm running Microsoft Windows XP Pro(Cracked).Already did tons of virus scans, cleaned the cache, defraged and even tried to boot in safe mode and all that to see if I could find the probelm….

Post the error message that is displayed on the BSOD screen. You might need to turn off the option "reboot after system crash" or whatever it's called (can't remember where the check box is though).

My guess is corrupted memory. You mentioned youtube videos as a cause, as you stream it, it fills up your ram. Try downloading a RAM diagnostic tool to see if its good or not.

As Mastergamer said disable Automatic restart. Go to My computer>properties>Advanced> Startup and recovery>settings>uncheck Automatically restart. Make sure write an event to the system log IS checked and the debugging info is set to small memory dump. This will create a log in windows minidump. Let it crash then download debugging tools for windows. Run the debugger on the mini dump and it will give you the cause. 95% of BSOD's are cause by 3rd party drivers very rarely is it a hardware problem.

Could I download the Debugging tools for windows before I force the BSOD, and still get the same result?
