If I was you next time you get it working I would save any data you need on to a disc just to be safe. What is the exact wording you get when it blue screens?

Sounds like either a RAM issue or a video card issue. My gut feeling is it is a RAM thang! =)

Normally when it bluescreen crash dumps it will briefly come up with a range of codes/characters explainng why it has crashed.

Write those down and then post them here or google them and that should at least work our where the issue is.

Sounds like RAM but I certainly wouldn't rule out overheating components. The machine will switch itself off as a preventative, the fan may be spinning but that doesn't necessarily mean that cooling is adequate. There could be a build up of dust inside acting as insulation and can really cause problems.

I would suggest taking out a single RAM chip but you only have 2GB installed, the likelihood is that this is a 2GB chip and you therefore haven't got more than one. Instead, I'd recommend you run Memtest86 which you burn on CD and boot from. It will run a variety of tests and may therefore rule out the possibility of it being faulty memory.
