Ok, so I just got another blue screen of death with no error message this time. It used to be the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error, but now it's just paragraphs of text. I fear I may have a Trojan, what is the best free scanner out there?

Also, I dont think I have a firewall enabled, any good free ones out there?

This is usually caused be over heating cpu or ram

The free version of zone alarm from ZoneAlarm by Check Point - Award winning PC Protection, Antivirus, Firewall, Anti-Spyware, Identity Protection, and much more. is a pretty good firewall. (only if your using XP don't use it if have any version of vista installed)

As for trojan's get AVG Anti-Virus free from: AVG Free Advisor: AVG Anti-Virus Free
some people say it works better than norton, but then again what doesnt.

As Warez said though that is cause by overheating it used to happen to me a lot when i was running my generic ram and stock heatsink.

The blue screens have kinda gone away, they come back every few weeks or so but only momentarily. I'll report back with any new problems.

When did they use to happen? When you were playing a game or when you where surfing the web etc.

Like ONCE when I was surfing the web and every other time playing CSS I got the IRQL error. But it never used to happen, I've had this comp for over a year.

I cant say for sure whats overheating, the best thing to do would be to open up your pc and clean your fans with compressed air, if you haven't cleaned it in over a year that may be the reason why.
