Could just be a faulty bit of software, I get bsod's occasionally while playing hl2 games as well.

All a Bsod means in general is some piece of software attempted to write in a memory sector that it isn't allowed to.

but its happening very offten, like a week before i can play garry's mod for like 30 hours straight(coffee included) and it still stands, but theses last few days the computer start getting bsod, someone them doesn't even have a message,that's what scares me

another problem, this could be a graphical reason but, i see black strips of lines or void stuck on the middle of the screen(body,props) like if a breakable box is there
with the void strips, i break it, its gone, or i rejoin the server, this happens to minecraft VERY offten, but for gmod if see this i immediately get a bsod, not 3 secs not when the round ends, see a strip walk, walk towards to the strip, bsod, this-is-creepy....

Your video card is dieing, Those are called video artifacts, and almost exclusively is a sign of a bad video card component.

You best bet would be to send the laptop into the manufacture to get it fixed.


This is a useful website on the subject.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I had a computer once.

It was the best computer ever.

I did everything on it.

THEN ONE DAY it had to get wiped. Completely.

All that hard work... endless hours in front of a screen... everything I did had to be erased.

I could only save so much data.

Then eventually, after a heart-wrenching 29 Clean Sweeps later, the Hard Drive fried itself to death, along with the motherboard.

Dude, I know. It sucks. Major.

But

And think about it this way... when you get something new, it's always easier to start over... at least; that's true with computers.

Oh and they run faster too, sometimes.

I also don't believe changing the RAM will change anything, especially if you get the same type/set as the original... basically it'd be like installing a non-defunct RAM, and your computer will be Pre-errors once again :>

Though

RMA stands for: Return Merchandise Authorization

RAM stands for: Random Access Memory.



It is actually quite easy to chance laptop RAM (Memory) in most cases, but the problem your describing sounds a lot more like a Video Card Problem


You would be much better off bringing to a reputable computer repair store, as they would be able to better diagnose it than just a bunch of people over the internet.

If you had an extensive set of Computer Repair skills and were asking for advice that would be a different story. However, since you seem new to computer repair, bring it to a repair shop.
