I know it could be a number of things but does anyone have a suggestion? It started about 7 days ago that my computer would just restart by itself. It did this several times in a short period. Now it has only done it a couple of times in the last several days. What does it sound like?

Either a bad driver or overheating is my guess. Could also be defective RAM.

I got my first BS this morning after unchecking the the restart box after error. How do I read it?

Type the number (The one which is like 0x-something) into the sarch box on the microsoft site as well as the text next to it (e.g BAD_POOL_HEADER)

I have run a memtest for 6 hours now and there is 1 error. With 1 error could that cause a problem?

That is a possibility.

Indeed. Remove the affected stick and see if the error occurs again.
