Ok so my computer is about a month old, and just today it started to reboot at random times. I ran my AVG, Zone Alarm, Adaware program, and Spybot search and destroy. I cleared out only like one or two problems, but the rebooting still existed. The last thing I installed was a new monitor and drivers for it. I dont know if that could be the problem, but I dont know how to uninstall the monitor driver anyway. The next thing I did was turn off automatic restart. Then on the next reboot it came up with this long BSOD. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is the short version of what it said:

A problem has been detected.....
problem caused by : win32k.sys
page_fault_in_nonpaged
win32k.sys-adress BF81A021 base at BF8000000,
Beginning dump of physical memory
 
Ok I googled memtest. Is that a program that you have to download to a disk and then boot to it? Thanks

Yes it is, you can also make a boot CD for it.

If you do much diag work on computers here is an AWESOME set of programs used to do MANY different things from hdd test to memtest. It has saved me a ton of time. Plus it has a nice little interface you can pick whatever program you want and just run it instead of flipping through floppies.

OK I actually downloaded a different program called memtest, and it didnt need to be made on a bootable disk. While it was running it managed to scan about 50% of my memory and it found 2 errors, then the computer reboot again. So this mean it is bad right? What should I do next? By the way thanks for the ultimate bootable disk.
