BSOD - Raised IRQL Fault (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit)
Hello all,
First of all I want to say that it is awesome this forum exists! I have slowly been learning more about debugging, but I'm still pretty new. Hopefully someone can help me out here.
I've been getting very (seemingly) random BSOD's and even lock ups that don't come with a blue screen (It does this when I'm not using it as well as when I am), but the computer is completely locked up.
I have my suspicions that it is a video card, possibly a heating issue (computer case isn't the best), since I get fewer lock ups on a smaller (lower resolution) monitor. Video drivers are up to date, however, and I don't want to assume anything so I'm here to explore all options.
Below is the requested information on the BSOD posting instructions:
Windows 7
-x64
-Upgraded from Vista (OEM) to Windows 7 Home Premium
-I'm not sure the exact age of the system as I bought it used. The video card and power supply were purchased as recently as 8 months ago (before I purchased it from the seller).
-The current OS is a fresh install (by me) after a wipe about 3weeks ago.
I hope this covers everything. Thanks for any help you can give me
