how old is it Medion give a three year guarantee I just had mine repaired it was sent back because of a broken hinge but it also was blue screening , since the repair I have not had the blue screen and it runs much cooler because I told them the error codes

you can get the error codes from the logs

try booting into safe mode and run your antivirus programme then read this Automatic Restart Vista - How To Disable the Automatic Restart on System Failure in Windows Vista
you will then have time to read the error and search for the cause

First thing to do when getting random reboots due to BSOD, is to turn off automatic restart to get the STOP code. I know you can normally get them from the logs too, but they sometimes fail to be recorded. Anyway, as you're now blue screening during reinstall, we're past that point.

When you say you've checked the RAM, did you strip down to one stick or run a memory test application? Ideally you'd do both; i.e. test each strip individually, doing multiple runs across each DIMM slot. It can take a while, and even with multiple runs then false negatives are common.

As for the fan, if it's spinning it's doing it's job. The paste may be worn out, causing inefficient heat transfer, but modern processors tend to clock down when they overheat rather than crash out.

You could try a live disc, e.g. Hiren's Boot CD, which has hardware temperature monitoring apps, such as Speccy.

Try the free program "Who Crashed" this looks at your crash logs and tells you what caused them....

Here

By all means try the above, but after 5-6 years, a new base unit is probably a better option.

And, it will put Vista where it belongs.

Like I said, try WhoCrashed.... it gets the info from your crashes and tells you what the issue is.... For example...
