Very intermittent BSOD
I made a computer for a friend for a favour (the specs i have listed in my rego) and it all works and then i send it off to her and then it BSOD. Originally i thought it was something she was doing at her house but i have since to realise that usability just degrades over time. This is the worst thing about the problem because when i swap something in to trial that part, it takes at least 2 days to start Blue screening again.
So far i have put a new HDD in and installed W7 on that with no success. Leaving that hdd in i put a better PSU in, and after that was put in i started a game (windows chess 3d) and it showed up heaps of errors pertaining to the GPU and i opened firefox and it BSOD. I then put my gpu in to test and then after about 6 hours it didnt BSOD however i then left the computer off for an hour and then it BSOD instantly at bootup.
This is where i am at so far. It seems to be pretty stable when it gets up and running but if left off for a while it BSOD like crazy. I have also noticed that the MoBo splash screen stays up for 20s longer then my computer which has near identical specs (same mobo).
I have often come here for solutions but this is the first time i have posted because its a bit hard finding a solution. I Have spent weeks doing this because of the length of time it takes to BSOD.
I have found the dump files, i am going to just zip them and up them... hopefully ive done it right, just let me know if i haven't. (it wouldnt let me archive so i copied them and 'stripped them of personal details' and then it worked)
To anyone that tries to help out, thank you so much, this has been a nightmare and caused many sleepless nights.
