BSOD all the time, neeed to use PC soon
Hello, I've never used a support site for bsods before but stick with me here as I am almost ready to smash everything.
A couple of months ago I upgraded my old computer with 5 new parts.
RAM - G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB DDR1333
Motherboard - Asus m4a79xtd evo
Video card - Evga GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) 1GB 128-bit GDDR5
Processor - Amd Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz
OS - Upgrade from XP to 7
It was great for a while, after that period that I started getting one BSoD every once in a while. I looked up the problem online and found something about updating chipset drivers. So I did. Ok so I am not very good at this, I might have not removed the old drivers before installing new ones(solved with new HD later). So I start getting all kinds of bsods. They would happen upon booting up, doing nothing, playing games. Friend tells me to reformat and I do. Still getting many bsods.
My hard drive was pushing 5.5 years so I get a suggestion from a mate that it might be the problem. Yesterday I got a new HD. Got a bsod upon installing Win7 on it (not sure which, cause it restarted automatically). Success on second try of the os install (and reformat), but I got my old dreaded 1e bsod again. I installed the drivers from hardware cds. Now I'm getting all sorts of bsod when booting up, safe mode, normal mode, windows is loading screen. Sometimes the computer gets stuck on "Loading ASUS Express Gate"(if i remember the text correctly), an on the Motherboard welcome screen.
What I've tried:
Using one stick of RAM at a time to see if it might be bad (still crash with both individually)
Running a fresh install without any drivers (still crash)
Processor stress test (someone else did it for me)
My brother might have done a memtest but im not sure
I've reached the end of my issue solving capabilities. Can anyone help? All my new parts are still under manufacturer warranty, although I'd much rather take them out and break them.
In the last few restarts, my computer sometimes boots completely but still crashes after a few min, but I managed to get the dump files off. My computer is up right now but I bet as soon as I start doing things it will crash. HELP! and thanks in advance!
