I am using Windows 8 (which is terrible btw)
Specs (Is this everything you need to know?):
Basically I get that blue screen with a "" face and some error which I can't remember. I notice my CPU sometimes fluctuates and gets quite high. I can't tell what process crashes my system because it crashes before I can open task manager. It happens when I'm doing fairly casual things like internet browsing (although granted last time it crashed I had at least ten tabs open), listening to Spotify, and then Photoshop, Fruity Loops, sometimes they are running at the same time too.
Surely my computer should be able to cope though. It never crashes when I'm playing even the most demanding video game on full graphic settings. So why when using the PC for general tasks does it crash?
I mean sure, I also use Rainmeter and Rocketdock but the most CPU they use combined is maybe 1% of the CPU and 16mb or RAM, tops (with task manager as reference).
Please help because I'm starting uni in September and I don't want it crashing when I'm in the middle of a an Photoshop etc. project.
