BSOD : SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION ; hardware related?
Hi! Have been getting BSOD for about a month now and been trying to fix it myself but I really don't know what the problem is. I believe it is hardware related either to the motherboard or processor but can't really confirm that either is faulty. It started after I installed a SSD so I thought that was the problem for awhile and based my troubleshooting on it being faulty. However I don't think it's the issue anymore because I've tried doing fresh installs without it on a HDD and reverted my BIOS to default settings and still have BSOD problems. I did get the crashing to stop after I completely disassembled my system and put it back together, reapplying themal paste to the processor. This made the crashing stop for about a week. My temps for the processor don't seem to be dangerously high though. Less than 60C. My video card gets a bit hot but says below 70C. But I have tried using a different video card too so I think that it's not the problem.
edit : Crashes usually happen under load (gaming) but happens while idle as well.
I will just make a list of the things I've tried. I've probably done some other things too trying to Google and find out a solution. Can't remember everything I've tried.
- Multiple fresh installs of Windows 7 and Vista on a SSD and HDD.
- Tried Memtest86+ for a total of ~20 passes and hours
- Tried using a different video card with fresh install
- Updated BIOS for motherboard and firmware for SSD
If there is any information I've forgotten that I should post please let me know. Any help that can be provided will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
