Download your hard drives utility and test your HD. Might want to backup your HD

It would be definetly a good idea to backup your data, but you might also try running some diagnostics with your RAM.

Would have been a lot more helpful if you would have told us what the blue screen said. Instead of calling it a bunch of garbage.
You are not giving us much info here. The problem could be from a powersupply going bad, ram going bad, motherboard bad, a driver having gone bad, nic gone bad. There is a reason for that "garbage".

Maybe you misunderstood him and the blue screen error message was "A BUNCH OF GARBAGE".
