Answer 1

I had the same problem with my computer that's all you got to do is make sure you havent got too many icons on the internet explorer bar.I had loads up there and i took them away and my computer stopped crashing. If that doesnt work go to a local computer shop and ask them they should help you !!!!!

Answer 2

Maybe your computer is overheating.

If it is overheating then you need to kinda fan it on the inside.

I don't know how to explain but you need to consult a computerist.  

Answer 3

You probably have a virus. They do get by the Norton program. Try AVG 8 the free version and run it at least two times from http://www.avg.com and see if it still crashes if it does try windows antivirus and see if it helps.  

Answer 4

It may be overheating, or a device may be failing.

Answer 5

because of p**n sites

Answer 6

hardware conflict... either your nVidia usually or Realtek audio have wrong or doubled up drivers as windows prefers it's own.

Answer 14

Probably a virus. I had a computer with norton anti virus and it still crashed because of a virus. try taking it in to the place where you bought  it and see if anybody there can figure out whats wrong.

Answer 15

Could be a virus. Run a FULL SYSTEM scan with Norton.

or do a system restore. Did you download something recently? If yes System Restore is the answer.

Good Luck.

Answer 16

There isn't enough information here to give you a good answer. Define crashing.  Under what circumstances does this occur?

Answer 17

Do you have limwire? If so, there's your reason. Limewire gets songs from other people, and they come with viruses. If you have it, you'll have to bring you computer in to get wiped, then don't plug in any music devices that have any limewire songs on them.

Answer 18

what did you do right before it crashed? you could have a virus or it could be just a problem with your computer. if it does that again or does'nt come back on  take it to a shop or call tech support if it is still under warranty

Answer 19

Could it still be a virus?  Are there any error messages coming up?  I run AVG and it picked up alot of things that the previous anti-virus programme did not.  Good luck!

Answer 20

Maybe you have to many cookies internet files saved to your computer. try clearing it out and it will not crash as much.
