No overclocking done by me, only what state it was in from Dell, no real software added except games but its always been like this since I got it ... Ive got all the latest updates and patches for all my games and system ... I think I will be requiring a call from a Dell technician ...478

do you get any error messages? error codes? have you looked in the event viewer for clues?it might be an idea if you got the PC straight from dell that you reformat and reinstall, this will correct any errors by badly written software to disk and cut down on any rubbish which is confusing it.478

Thats funny , I'm having a very similar problem with mine. Dell has been getting me to run many tests and everything looks fine. But nothing is fine it crashes many times a day, I used to get a blue screen but that has stopped and now it just randomly reboots. Nothing Dell has suggested has fixed this problem for me. I bought this pc to be high end and my old pc worked better and was more stable. I wasn't afraid to do something and lose data, now I don't even want to log into a game because it's useless to. As for the support, well everyone is nice enough just not knowledgeable enough to solve my problem yet. I hope that you get yours fixed478

Disable nTune in your bios and don't use CoreTemp. See if that makes it any better.478

I literally had just posted this message and was scrolling down the thread to make sure it posted correctly when I blue-screened:
After rebooting Windows detected that something went wrong and gave me this:
After submitting an error report, it redirected me to a page that said:
Run Windows diagnostics to troubleshoot the problem
This problem was caused by an error in your computer's random access memory (RAM). Microsoft is unable to determine if this problem was caused by a hardware or software issue, although this type of problem is usually caused by hardware.
