Blue Screen Errors and Crashes Problem

[MrCactus]

In the past weeks I have encountered a problem when using the app (previously it worked fine). When using it (usually when selecting an area, pasting or resizing) I get black lines over it, or sometimes the image becomes distorted with the lines, and then my laptop crashes and I get a blue screen error, or sometimes Paintdotnet itself crashes (saying: "Sorry, but paint.net has encountered an unhandled exception and must close"), and a blue screen error happens regardless shortly after. I have tried reinstalling the app, scanning my system and reinstalling Windows. I am using Windows 10. Below I will attach the crash logs (I have also sent them to the crashlog email).

Some of these exception messages are indicative of bad system memory (RAM).

The fact that you're also having BSOD issues enforces this theory.

 

It looks like your laptop is nearly 12 years old. Probably time to replace it.

A blue screen error indicates either bad hardware, buggy drivers, or malware/virus. Paint.NET itself cannot cause a blue screen on its own. I agree with @toe_head2001 assessment -- your computer itself is failing, and hard.
