Laptop Bluescreening

Friends, i have a chilling tale for you.
A couple of days ago, my laptop bluescreened for the first time (had it a little less than 2 years). I thought at the time, its probs just a one off, np, it'll get better. However, it bluescreened again (with the same error message, as far as i know) just now.
The error message seemed to be hardware related, but it only popped up for a little while before my laptop restarted like a phaaag.
e:model of laptop = HP Pavilion dv6 2114-SA
I have a few questions bros, because this has got me a little worried, and i don't know shit about this, so a helpful answer would be appreciated:
1) Would a format+reinstall help/solve the problem?
2) What causes a bluescreen? Is it usually hardware, or software (drivers etc?)
3) Should i start looking at laptops to buy? And if so, what brands? (my current + previous laptop were HP, and they have both bluescreened in a similar way :/ )
e: 4) my laptop has been getting noticeably slower recently for no real reason - could this be related to the bluescreening? (and both times FM12 (which takes a lot of processing power) has been open)
friends, your cooperation here would be delightful. For every useful answer, i will add one randomchick to the bottom of the journal, addressed to the person who gave the good answer.
Good day,

take it to fixing
will add a ~average chick in a sec, because this answer is ~average
just type it in goolge and it might help
Then tell us the exact error message and code. From that we can tell... or download this and it will tell you what BLUESCREEN you have received.

this is from the most recent one, both seem to be exactly the same though
Looking at the screenshot, update your network card drivers. NETIO.sys is the problem, you should try updating your drivers for your card.
If you use the onboard ethernet port, update your motherboard drivers. You can get them from the manufactures website of your motherboard.
thanks for all your help, you are a hero
Try this method (ONLY IF THE ABOVE METHOD OF UPDATING DRIVERS DOESN'T WORK).

1: dont think it'll change anything if u format or reinstall
2. its a hardware problem from my experience
3. probly yes :D
4. it did because ur laptop is having a hard time "writing or reading" anything
A format and reinstall could fix it (if it's a software problem), but it might be a lot of work to do just to find out that it's hardware - though if you're trying to be tight with money, it might be worth trying first to save a repair fee (time to reinstall vs $ to take it somewhere and have them do it).
thanks bro, chick in a sec
e: whats your operating system?
e2:With Right-click Computer, Properties, click Advanced System Settings,
In the Startup and Recovery Settings and uncheck
Automatically reboot or smth
If that doesn't work it could be driver related but if you haven't installed any then forget about this.
It could be that your RAM is unreadable because of electric circets that are burnt through or are always on the on position insted of off posistion. Would mean you need to buy new RAM. But would also mean that you can't start up at all. Hope this helped if you have any Q ik will awnser them with much pleasure
