Random BSODs While Gaming/Casual Use

Receiving random stutters/BSODs while casually using my computer, gaming (LoL, Skyrim), and streaming video online. Most of the stutters occur when LoL client is open (not in-game) or when uTorrent is open. BSODs are a new occurrence (started today) and are random as far as I can tell.

I was using a GTX 650 TI when blue screens occured, I have since put in my old 8800GT to see if that resolves the issues.

Welcome to the forum.

A stop F4 is usually hard drive (storage device) related.

If you have an SSD, make sure the following are up to date:

• SSD firmware
• BIOS Version
• Chipset Drivers
• Hard disk controller drivers/SATA drivers
• If you have a Marvell IDE ATA/ATAPI device, make sure the drivers are up to date from the Intel site or Marvell site and not from your motherboard/vendor support site.

Make it sure that the SSD is properly seated; and run Seatools for DOS on the Seagate HDD.

My SSD is mounted onto a 2.5" adapter and is securely located in my 3.5" drive bay. That is what you meant by seated, right?

If there is no loose connection, its all good :)

I also downloaded and ran SeaTools for DOS and the short test passed. Do I need to run the long test?

No need, but it would be better to have another CrystalDiscInfo screenshot of the Seagate HDD after passing seatools test.

Now wait and observe how it is going after following the instructions of post #2.

The caution is still there But the serial number is nothing important to hide



The caution indication can be converted to good using CrystalDiscInfo. Click on the caution Button, you will get another window ....


In the resulting window, there are three sliders in the left. Drag them to the ultimate left, and notice the values at the right side are converting to zeros.


Now click the apply button, and notice that the caution is gone.
