BSOD with newly built PC - Occurs mostly on shutdowns and restarts
Hello,
I built this PC late last week with all new parts (see below). I have downloaded all the driver's from Asus's website for my mobo, and nVidia's website for my Video Card, as well as the Rosewill Wireless USB Adapter that is plugged in to my computer.
I put everything together, and updated all my drivers this past weekend (and reinstalled most of them today in trying to fix the problem). Occasionally, on restarts or shutdowns, I get a BSOD. It's not every time, but it's certainly enough to notice and drive me crazy. A computer I built 6 days ago is to young to get constant BSODs... BlueScreenView seems to consistently blame ntoskrnl.exe. I ran MemTest86+ today through 5 cycles with no errors.
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Any help you guys can give me would certainly be appreciated since I'm at a loss. I'm not overclocking and my CPU temps are in the range of 20-30C when immediately booting back up after the BSOD. Please let me know if you have any questions or need to know anything else.
Thanks,
Nate
