BSOD with AVG scan or playing ARMA2
Alright, I am consistently getting BSOD's with different bug check names, depending on what I was doing at the time. The one consistent thing about the BSOD is that it seems to happen when the CPU is at full stress, the two prevalent causes being an AVG virus scan or running ARMA 2 for several hours, both of which can put the CPU at full stress on all cores.
I started having these BSODs following a period of overclocking over about 2 years. I had my CPU overclocked to 4.6 ghz without issue for that time. Then the first PSU failed under stress, which I replaced only to suffer damage to the new PSU shortly thereafter prompting me to restore all default clock settings. The second PSU still functions albeit with a horrible buzzing noise letting me know it's soon to fail. I have since replaced that PSU for fear that it might damage some of my hardware by not proving proper voltage. I am starting to think I might be too late, and the either the RAM or the CPU needs to be replaced. Everything runs within acceptable temperature while at stress, the CPU never breaking the 50's C.
But if I run an AVG virus scan I am guaranteed to get a BSOD every single time.
I've included the required information below, give it to me straight is my CPU on the way out?
