I've just put a new motherboard and cpu in my computer and i've been getting a BSOD normally when i'm in a game but it has happened when it was sitting idle.
It's a fresh install of win 7 ultimate, the ram is older and i thought it might be the cause but windows diagnostic says the rams fine so i'm at a loss.
Hi Himuro.
Are you overclocking?
As you are getting BSODs, you should stop overclocking and run all the hardware components like CPU, GPU and RAM to their default settings.Code:CPUID: "Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz" MaxSpeed: 3500 CurrentSpeed: 3506
Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.

If it start showing errors/red lines, stop testing. A single error is enough to determine that something is going bad there.

i think that overclocking is the motherboards monitor programs doing but i belive my problem is ram as i took out the stick i added recently and it's not had a bsod for just over a day
