BSOD at random times and PC shutting down suddenly without notice
I am in complete distress over the past week because my PC has been shutting down randomly and at times BSOD appears. The shutdown is bit weird because it can happen almost anytime whether I am watching videos, playing games, surfing internet or just on my desktop.
I have built this PC about one and half year ago and eveything in it is Brand new except for the processor which is 5 years old. I have overclocked the processor up to 3GHz but I have been running at these settings for over one and half years without many problems.
There can be many reasons why the PC is doing this such as Memory, PSU, CPU, Motherboard I just don't know where to start. I was first thinking overheating is the problem but I have monitored the temps and I have pretty good cooling in the case. My temps are avg 45 on the CPU when playing games at 3GHz overclock and 50 Max on the GPU.
I have now reseated the memory and excluded any potential bad memory stick and reverted back to default BIOS settings and will now be monitoring for problem but in mean time if some expert could shed some light on this issue I would greatly appreciate it and I am apologise for the wall of text.
