    If you can post your error numbers, we can look it up. It may be the ram, could be something else.

    Yes download copy of Memtester to test the ram or remove the ram you added and see if bluescreen go away

    what does blue screen say anything or does reboot before give you msg ?

    There are a bunch of results, and while it does not match fully, you can start to troubleshoot. First step is to post any recent changes to drivers, updates, programs, ram, etc. It looks like it could be drivers, usually video, not enough hard drive space, or bios. If you have not touched the bios yet, then thats not it. It is probably not the hdd space if you have 15% free or more. I got all my 5 imaginary dollars on drivers.

    Search "0x0000007e" in google and read the first 20 results.

    as i have already mentioned that the ram was extended to 512(originally it was 256mb)plus there are a few new software instalations like visual basic and etc.i think i have not touched drivers except that i disabled modem drivers as i use my LAN connection.the thing which i have noticed is that pc keeps working cool till 3-4 hours but then after 4 or 5 hours continious usage it shows that blue screen and then restarts...guys are you sure that things like mother board and other major hardwares are safe and functional?is it really a serious problem?if it is not quite important then how to disable that?plus c drive`s size is 9.75 GB out f which only 1.35 GB is free at the moment.thanks!

    Ya, you may want to downgrade your ram, and free up more than 1.35gb on your main system (C) partition. 2-3 is safe.
