Random reoccurring BSOD since I installed new hardware
About a month ago I updated some hardware in my PC which I built in the summer of 2009. Here is the list of changes:
- AMD Phenom II X3 720 upgraded to AMD Phenom II X4 965
- XFX Radeon HD 4870 upgraded to EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti
- G.Skill 2x2GB DDR3 1333 upgraded to G.Skill 4x2GB DDR3 1333 (all sticks are the same model)
The rest of my system specs are in my profile. I have been getting random BSOD's since the new hardware has been installed, but I can't seem to pinpoint the problem. I do have my CPU and GPU mildly overclocked but I have stress tested both components thoroughly without any problems. Here is a rundown of everything I have tried:
- Ran prime95 for 8+ hours with no errors
- Ran memtest86+ for 8+ hours with no errors
- Ran folding@home for 12+ hours to stress the GPU with no artifacting, overheating, or BSOD
- Ran a HD diagnostic program from Western Digital with no errors
- Confirmed that my PSU was outputting the required voltages through BIOS and SpeedFan
- Reset my pagefile
And last but not least the Windows 7 specs:
- x64 version
- Windows 7 is the original installed OS
- OEM version
- Age of system: 3.5 years
- Age of OS installation: 3 years
I'm at my wits' end and I really appreciate any help you guys are willing to give. Thank you!
