Last night, when I went to bed, my computer was on and fine. Today I sat down at my computer to find a BSOD. I restarted, and logged in fine. However, everything was hanging and a process called "StarWindService.exe" was using 99 of my CPU processes. A quick google search revealed that this was part of Alcohol 120%. I couldn't terminate the process, so I restarted the computer. When the computer rebooted, I put in my password, Windows played the login music, and then ten seconds later I got a BSOD. The same thing happened the next time, etc. The only way I can use the computer is if I boot into safe mode. The BSOD's I got only once gave a cause of the BSOD- "PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA". Another google search revealed that this may be a memory problem. I am now running memtest86, but I don't know what the results mean. It has, however, revealed a lot of errors in only about 25 minutes:
If anyone knows why this is happening, I would greatly appreciate the help. BTW, I haven't recently added new hardware or installed new software, or installed any Windows updates. This just randomly started happening.
