Hi, This is my third post here I believe regarding the problems of blue screens.
My computer is a year and a half old and has always suffered from blue screens, I've replaced all the hardware / reinstalled windows and it will work fine after each changeover for about 2 weeks before beginning to crash and or blue screen.
I have a detailed history of my experience posted here : Bluescreens, constant startup cycle and freezing for a year and a half : techsupport
This has the progression of me returning my parts, my hardware list and the problems I encounter. This current crop of crashes is simply blue screens and a black screen when entering windows.
THis blackscreen will allow me to move around my cursor but happens after each blue screen and takes a while to revert to normal desktop.
Again, this problem randomly started up while I was playing a game, something which the crashes haven't been mutually exclusive too over the past year. I've included the 4 minidumps that actually saved over the past 3 days, the rest do not save and instead get to 65% saving and freeze up.
I plan to test prime95, memtest + and a hard drive tester soon, this is just to see if anything sticks out from the minidumps as I've yet to see a correlation between them (I'm not adept at reading them at all though)
Ran CHKDSK and it found and fixed errors, let's see if it actually worked. Edit. Fixing the errors on the disk did not work, still blue screening. Running Prime 95 just now, Not entirely sure how to run so just running torture test and the default settings.
Prime 95 been running for 5 hours with the default settings, nothing found so far and not blue screened. Computers are the worst things.
