Please help me understand these BSOD
Hi Guys, I built this (new) computer about 3 weeks ago. It all started well, but then I started getting freezes and BSOD, but determined that they were due to my SSD as many others were reporting similar issues. I fixed this by moving the SSD to a sata2 port and everything was great for a week. Now I'm getting BSOD again and not sure what is causing it.
Build is:
i7 2600K
Asus P8Z68 V-Pro
Asus DCII 6970
Gskill Ripjaws F3 8GB
Corsair AX-850
Corsair Force 3 Series 120GB SSD
Running Win7 Ultimate x64 (full retail I think)
(All hardware and OS is no more than 4 weeks old.)
I have overclocked slightly (using the auto overclocking software provided by MB) but PC ran well overclocked for a while before issues occurred so I don't think this is the issue.
I have run memTest for 1 pass and all was well. When I get time I will run it for much longer.
I have had about 6+ BSOD over the last 2 days. They often occur when starting a game, after getting through all menus and just as the level/race ect is about to begin. It also occurred a number of times when web browsing and watching TV shows (win media player) through the network.
If anyone could provide any thoughts on what is causing it/ which piece of hardware I need to look into it would be much appreciated!
Cheers
