    Recently (first time this month) about 3 time in total right about now. Usually it happens when i"m watching something and it just freezes for about 45 seconds and then it switches to a blue screen with text telling me my computer has encountered a problem and restarts. Should i be worried? :confused:

    BSOD doesn't always have to be issues related to hardware. Worry only if it happens so regular that you know its coming and there it is. It could possibly be a driver issue.
