    Hi

    First may I appologise for my lack of understanding of these things if its somthing simple.

    So I have had the computer for a month now and when I leave it idling for a while, usually over 5 minutes it blue screens and restarts, then I get a message saying that it Blue screened.

    I have a 6990 but I dont think I have the most up to date or correct driver installed at the moment, and im assuming this is the culprit.

    AMD Catalysit 11.8 is the driver I have now

    The strange thing though is that I have been playing loads of battlefield 3 and using the computer for everything, but it only crashes when im not using it :S.

    Any Ideas ?
