This is a rather weak laptop I've had for about 2 years, but I'm dead broke and can't afford a new one. I've had no prior issues with it crashing, until earlier today it spontaneously bluescreened. There was a loud screeching sound that accompanied it.
When I boot normally after one of these crashes, a few seconds after logging in it crashes again. If I go into safe mode, it seems like it takes a few hours longer.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? The blue screen goes by too fast for me to get any meaningful info from it. Maybe it could be a memory leak of some sort? My last resort will be to restore with a boot partition, but that might not fix it.
