BSOD random occurence, regular office use

impaelas · 03 Oct 2012

Hi,

First of all, thank you for any eventual help.

This machine is used 15h per day (office work, graphics, video editing, gaming). BSOD crashes occur either while idle, using simple editors or browsing.
- No additional hardware was added recently that might indicate BSODs.
- OS is up to date
- drivers are up to date

If I can provide any other useful info please let me know.

Regards,
Imp

hi,

thx for such a fast response.

my CPU is overclocked but it's been running like that for over a year without any BSOD. will try to reset it to stock values and keep an eye on BSOD. will update on progress.

regards,
imp
