Yet another BSOD thread.
Ok since I was getting the occasional bsod in Vista its nothing new in Win 7. Just trying to find out the cause.
Event Viewer has details for the critical errors as Kernel-Power EventID 41. Google and looking around says this has something to do with power. And the bsod points out about a unrecoverable hardware issue. Is it as simple as my power supply is failing? I find this hard to believe since I leave the pc on for days at a time sometimes, never with any issue. And then when I play World of Warcraft i may crash within a few hrs (and yes, only in World of Warcraft).
So, driver issue? Or is the system being taxed and it really IS a power issue? Anyway, just before it happens my case will make a audible 'click' noise, and sometimes everything will freeze for a few seconds (sound, connection, everything) then it all comes back in a rush. And then will prob bsod fully within 5-10 mins.
Anyway, I orginally had issues with the stupid hibernate always giving me bsod. I disabled that. Im hoping its some other similar issue. Ideas?
64 bit Win7. 8 megs ram. Xi-Fi sound card (with latest driver from here), GTX 260 (again latest driver from here).
