Recently my computer has been crashing a lot, and getting BSoD's. My computer seems fine just running, say AIM and firefox.

However if I play a game for more than 15 or so minutes, watch multiple videos, or run iTunes for a few hours my computer tends to crash, which makes me think it is a RAM problem. Although I have heard it may be a heat problem.

Also, when I restart my computer it sometime takes a few tries.

If anyone could help I would appreciate it.

How old is the setup, and what brand and model of Power supply do you have?

How long has it been since you've opened up the case and got rid of all the dust? Might be high time to get in there and clean things up :) I'd suggest you install a program called "speedfan". This'll give you temperatures and fan speeds, might give a glimpse of what the problem is.
