i have dell inspiron. got it for 700 bucks.4GB ram and 64-bit , 2.13 GHz processor. i always have this laptop crashed. almost twice a day.  this mostly  happens when i watch online videos (for a length of time say more than 20 mins, be it netflix or youtube). watching DVDs are OK.  Also if i run some code/program that needs quite a bit of computer resources, it crashes and gives out colored screen. color widely varies.  it not that i browse bad sites. i keep the anti virus/spyware pretty updated. any suggestions?

From my experience...it could be the case of overheating...first start by checking the fans and sink...Get a cooling pad!

Dell has a pretty good costumer care, talk or chat with one of representative and they will try to figure it out online else will send u a new hard drive...;)

If it's been less than a year, call customer support, they will help you out. If not, check memory.dmp file in ur pc, download some tools to find out the cause and do the rest. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Double-click System. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Startup and Recovery. In the Write debugging information list, click Small memory dump (64k).To change the folder location for the small memory dump files, type a new path in theDump File box (or in the Small dump directory box, depending on your version of Windows) follow the link or search for more to dig more.. http://support.microsoft.com/k...
