BSOD in Flash and games, computer forgets BIOS and time when off
I imagine you get a lot of problems like this, but I haven't been able to find any which correspond to what's been going on with my computer.
Briefly, a few months ago it started badly misbehaving. Flash videos normally caused a BSOD, and certain games also produced a blue screen, although the error it came up with was almost always different. Sometimes the games just froze up with or without strange graphical error, and I needed to restart. Very occasionally it would blue screen without any provocation, just when logging on or something.
In addition, whenever the computer is off for more than a few minutes it gives an error on booting saying that it has lost its BIOS settings, and when I log on I need to update the date and time as it resets to 2001.
I have tried reinstalling graphics drivers completely using driversweeper, and have replaced the motherboard battery with a new one. I also did a clean reinstall of Windows (I do one anyway every now and then, to keep things tidy).
The computer is useable but all these problems are quite annoying. As far as I can remember they all started at once.
I have attached the stuff mentioned in the BSOD thread.
Computer is 4 years old, self built, ran fine before. Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit, Full Retail.
PLEASE HELP!
