    Hi;

    Today I received 5 blue screens! The first 4 came when I installed Test Drive Unlimited, it will play for 2 to 3 min and then a blue screen, and the 5th blue screen came when I updated battlefield to v1.25 but when I restarted it worked?! Is this a hardware problem, or a RAM problem? Cuz I replaced the motherboard 2 weeks ago because of a network problem, and bought two 1gb rams (= 2GB) about a month ago. But I never get a blue screen while using windows only during gameplay?! Btw I run Windows Vista Ultimate Edition. Is there any solution to this and what might be cause the problem? thank u.
