What: Blue screen of death!?

Home More advice Computers & Tech

I download sims 2 custom content on a regular basis, mostly from The Sims Resource. A few months ago, I was downloading something, and suddenly I got the blue screen of death. I freaked, restarted my comp, then ran a virus scan with avg and malwarebytes (yes, they can be on the same computer together). Nothing. I finally shrugged it off. I mean, computers have errors. Well, yesterday I was downloading a song on limewire (I now know it's illegal and immediately deleted and song and the program) and suddenly I go the blue screen of death! I've heard that BSOD can be caused by viruses (even Conficker, that really bad one!) or just a simple computer error. I just thought it was kind of odd, since I just got it a few months ago. I have never had it before O_o

Is this bad? Is just as simple as my computer is having an error or two, or is there something wrong? Aka, a virus AVG and Malwarebytes are not picking up? Help! PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME TO DOWNLOAD SOMETHING! JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION! THANK YOU.
