Hey there, I've got another problem.
Whenever I leave the laptop idling for approx. 30 minutes, it bluescreens (or sometimes simply restarts).
I downloaded Debugger Tools for Windows to take a look at the dump file that was located in the C:\Windows folder - which now for some reason won't get created anymore - and it said something about memory corruption. Problem history or however that option is called didn't record any bluescreen either. I have checked the laptop for viruses with Avira Antivir, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and HiJackThis but nothing suspicious was found.
The thing is, from the time before this started to happen until after, I had absolutely nothing new installed or changed within the laptop. It just came out of nowhere. And this always starts occuring a few months after I freshly reinstalled my OS. Yes, I had this happen to me quite a few times already.
I have absolutely no clue what to do, I'm not tech-savvy or anything. I'd appreciate it if somebody could guide me through a simple-to-understand walkthrough on how to tackle this problem. It's annoying me that I can't leave for half an hour without the laptop restarting for no apparent reason.
Thanks in advance for every response.
e: I forgot to mention that I also did a disk check and it showed the drives to be perfectly intact.
