With HWmonitor open, press Ctrl+S to start monitoring. AIDA64 should not fry your system.

Thanks, what kind of tests do I need to run on AIDA64? I have it installed already

Let AIDA do the full suite.

It's been a while,

I ran AIDA64 for like 10 hours yesterday before I had to stop it because I needed to use my rig so badly, being a dumb idiot like I am I accidentally deleted the logfile that contains the graph that could shed light on what might be wrong with my PC.

Nonetheless the graph looked sort of normal to me but my PC froze again like 3-5 times after I stopped the test but no BSODs, tried looking for the dump file at BlueScreenview but it didn't show me anything. I'll try to run AIDA64 again and will post it here as we all celebrate a wonderful Christmas season.

As my AIDA64 testing nears completion I encountered a BSOD, I'm attaching the dump file for info

Hello thunderkiss,

Have you tested your GPU yet, as suggested in post #9 and post #12?

My guess is that you are using the 331.65 WHQL driver?
If so, please follow this to install the stable 314.22 WHQL driver;

Lately we have experienced some issues with the latest driver. Install the 314.22 WHQL only.

Uninstall All nvidia items in Control Panel > Programs and features
- 3D Vision Control Driver

- Graphics Driver
- HD Audio Driver
- PhysX
- nvidia Update
(Are you using nvidia chipset drivers? If so, dont uninstall anything other than those are listed).
Now follow Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling
Boot normally now. Go to Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers, Download 314.22 WHQL. While installing, Select Custom (Advanced) install. In the next page, follow this settings:

----------

After that, please stress test the graphics card using Furmark GPU Stress Test.

Information

During the test please check the screen for artifacts.
The purpose of this test is to make your machine crash and create dump files so that we can pinpoint the cause of your problem.

Tip

Please run Furmark once when your machine has just started, and once again when your machine has been active for several hours.

Good luck and keep us posted,
Nommy
