Need help with consistent BSOD issues
About a year and a half ago I helped my friend build a computer. Basically everything in the computer was bought new, with the exception of the case, the power supply and the cd rom drives. At first everything seemed to work fine, however then it began to show consistent recurring BSOD problems. The only consistent pattern we have noticed is that it pretty much always happens while playing or even attempting to play a video game. It has happened occasionally outside of games, but games pretty much always cause a BSOD eventually if they even load at all.
The system specs are:
Windows 7 Home Edition 64 bit (OEM) This was not the original os but we formatted the hard drive when we built it. The hard drive had windows xp from the other computer he had used it in.
AMD Phenom II X2 555
Ati Radeon 5770
3gb of ram.
The games that have caused problems are Morrowind, Oblivion, dragon age origins, dragon age 2 and The witcher 2. Most of these games would essentially crash when launched, often resulting in a BSOD.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if I can provide more information that would help.
