BSOD while playing videogames
Hi,
Recently I have been experiencing BSODs. They started occurring a few months ago after I attempted overclocking my Xfired HD 5770 and HD 5750 using a third-party software, b/c AMD's overdrive (and Catalyst Control Center) where not working. I experienced screen tearing so I attempted to reset everything to stock clocks, and I even removed and put back in my cards. After this attempted OC I started experiencing BSOD only when I played video games. Thinking I had screwed up my card settings, and since I could not find a way to give a true factory reset (and believing that to be the root of my problems) I went ahead and upgraded to a single Sapphire Radeon 7870 GB lx unlocked video card. I even gave my self a fresh re install of windows after I installed the new card. Now, after playing Crysis 3 for many hours I experienced two BSODs within the span of 10 minutes (by the way, the BSODs before my new card happened when playing BF3 or a graphically intensive game for a long while, but not when playing, say, Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion or something graphically un-intensive, like when not playing games). I'm not sure whats wrong so I need your help. Is it a temperature problem? Did I screw up my Motherboard? I promise I wont ever try to clock my GPU's using third party software again!! Any and All help will be so greatly appreciated!!!!
