Why does my computer just cut out and reboot at random (sometimes blue screen sayin dumping physical memory)?

The blue screen (assuming you use XP) is usually caused by a hardware problem, Try removing all unnecessary hardware (printers, scanners, webcams, basically everything except for your monitor, mouse, keyboard, and speakers) and use your computer for a while. If this does not work, you can immeadiately rule out the devices themselves. The next problem could be a dodgy driver or a problem with one of your cards (video card, sound card, etc.) Out-of-date drivers can do this, so update all of your drivers from the internet. However, the sudden cutting out and rebooting suggests to me that there is a problem with your PSU (power supply unit) or anything that would have a safety cut-out (due to large currents, over-heating, etc.) This is a problem I personally would have a professional look at (I am more of a software-orientated computer-geek, although I would not say I know little about hardware; I would say quite the contrary.) Another suggestion may be that the two are not linked, but rat
