BSOD during Installing / Games / Videos
Hi Guys,
I've had my pc custom built by iBuyPower and have had bluescreens since the first month, more than 2 years ago. I was able to get replacement CPU and RAM from them with no charge but nothing has solved the issue. BSOD have come more frequently and are almost a guarantee when installing a new game from steam or even sometimes when updating drivers, I just had one while DotA 2 was patching in steam. Running youtube occasionally causes windows to lock up and requires a restart.
I did a clean install about a month ago and am at my wits end as it feels almost worse with frequent lock-ups (no bsod) or random BSOD. I have seen many different BSOD such as:
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
APC_INDEX_MISMATCH
BAD_POOL_HEADER
Those are just the ones since the most recent windows clean install. I ran memtest on my most recent memory upgrade about a year ago without any issues, I'm not opposed to trying again but I've tried 3 different RAM setups with entirely different sticks each time.
Please help!
