BSOD randomly when sometimes playing Minecraft or on Skype

Ok Arc, thankyou :)

And by under load, what would you do to test this?

I saw you tried Prime95.
Does it give you enough time to at least remember, by looking in speccy,
what the temperature is before it bugchecks?

Framoman · 02 Aug 2013

I don't think it's my temperature that is causing any issue, my Speccy showed a max of 73 degrees on my CPU before BSOD. All other components were 30-40 degrees. I think it's hardware failure, but I don't know what hardware.

~~What is your full system spec?~~

Just saw you already stated your PSU.

If it is the VS650w it might not be compatible with the new intel chips
code name "haswell" due to the low sleep and idle state of this new type of processors.

Try going into the BIOS and disabling the C6 & C7 states.

Yeah ahah. :)

I'm sorry, I edited my post ^ .

Framoman · 02 Aug 2013

Ok, I'll try that now :)

Btw it is the tx650m

Framoman · 02 Aug 2013

What setting will these states be listed under, I can't seem to find them :/?

YoYo155 · 02 Aug 2013

I'm pretty sure that in the UEFI it's under:

OC> CPU Features> INTEL C-STATES.

Framoman · 02 Aug 2013

Right I have found it. It is disabled anyway, so should I enable it and set its limit to 6??

YoYo155 · 03 Aug 2013

The TX650m appears to be compatible with "haswell" so no dice there, no point in changing
anything if its already disabled.

But can you post the Voltage readings, and RAM timings?
