I've recently gotten 2 BSODS. This has only happened in the past couple of days. I haven't installed anything new and its not spyware/virus.

The only new things I've added to my computer have been Supreme Commander, Razer Diamondback 3G drives, Teamview 3 and Windows live messenger (pidgin doesn't have web camera support.)

I'm concerned that something may be wrong with my hard ware, is there any way to check?

It would help if you could grab the Error Numbers while the blue screen is showing. If it's doing a memory dump you'll probably have time.

Have a look in the event viewer and see what errors are listed there at the time of the BSOD.

Also look in your device manager and see if there are any yellow exclamation marks showing next to any of your hardware.

I have not used this myself but somone I know has.

It has an online manual as you can see, please read it before install, and note what has to be turned off in it first when you want to uninstall it.

It seems a coincidence that you get a BSOD when you click on a ..errr. :)

Have you done scans in safe mode as well?

The BSOD may be from something you've changed like perhaps any driver updates (usually the main culprit), or even a program update.

You can of course do some of the recommended stuff:
