Can nobody help me? I've tried everything. I'm still getting it for the same reason.
EDIT: I don't have the "Automatically restart" option checked, but it still restarts anyways. So I can't see the BSOD when it happens. I don't know what to do. I'm not reinstalling windows though.
What have you tried?
Since you've given us absolutely no information about the fault, other than that you get a BSOD, we can only guess at what it is and how to solve it. It's either caused by hardware or software - if it's software related a reinstall will be by far the simplest way to fix it. If it's a directly hardware related (not driver level) than you've got a few possible likely causes:
1. Overheating (as virtually everyone has already said, yet you haven't posted any temps yet, which seems most unwise). Cleaning dust out of the machine is very unlikely to have any serious impact.
2. BIOS settings. If you've changed anything in your BIOS recently change it back - or better still reset it all to defaults and work from there.
3. Memory. Get a memory checking tool or some description and run long and in depth RAM checks.
4. Power. If you've added extra components or your PSU is of poor quality and may have degraded, then you might be having issues with either a lack of power or out of range power - your BIOS may have tools for having a basic check of the various voltage rails.
5. Faulty CPU/Motherboard/GPU. In this case you're fucked and need to buy some new hardware.
