BSODs - Motherboard or PSU?
Hello,
I've been dealing with a strange series of BSODs for a while now. My computer will be stable for several days to a week, then randomly bluescreen. Afterwards, the bsods and other crashes occur constantly with random errors. Memtest 86 detects RAM problems, but after swapping it from the 1,3 slots to the 2,4 slots problems ceased. Normally, I would assume that means bad slots, but when I swap the sticks back to the 1,3 slots it stabilizes again for a few days. I've flashed the BIOS to the latest version and the severity of the crashes reduced, but there are still problems.
Has anyone encountered anything like this before or have any idea how to deal with it? I'm upgrading my power supply from an Antec 650W to a Corsair 950W, but I'm worried my motherboard might be the actual culprit.
Thanks for your help!
