BSOD at random, inconsistent error codes
I've been getting BSODs at random over the last 5 months. They occur more frequently when playing games (e.g. StarCraft II, Heroes of Newerth), but occasionally occur just after startup or while idle as well.
Steps I have taken so far:
- installed new fans and case
- trialled a different graphics card (ATI Radeon 4670 1GB- now running 4870 512GB)
- bought new RAM and tried combinations of different slots (now running with all 8GB, new and old)
- done a clean install of Windows 7 Pro x64
- various other driver updates, etc.
but all to no avail. BSODs after each new try. Unfortunately I have lost the old dump files prior to the clean Win7 install two days ago, but the latest two dumps should be there. One of the regular occurrences when looking at the previous dump files in NirSoft BlueScreenView was the crash address "ntoskrnl.exe+7cc40".
System specs are up to date on my profile, and usual details attached.
I would really appreciate any advice on where to go from here. I am stumped.
Thanks in advance,
