Multiple BSOD's in the past when playing games and just idling.
Hey!
In the past(and today) i have been getting plenty of BSOD's. Most of them happen when i play games like Planetside 2 but some of them happen when i am doing something like watching a video or leaving it on for an extended period of time. I have also been getting plenty of freezes, forcing me to restart my computer.
My CPU fan is quite loud and i first thought all of the BSOD's were caused by my computer overheating, so i put a relativity small sized fan right next to the computer. It quietened down the noise a little bit but it did not stop the freezes and BSOD's from coming.
Ah, almost forgot, when i was cleaning out my CPU fan, i did not have any thermal paste on me, so there isn't any new paste between the chip and heat sink.
Here are my some of my computer specs:
OS: Windows 7 Home premium x64 bit.
CPU: AMD FX(tm)-4170 Quad-core Processor
Motherboard: ASRock N68-VS3 FX 4.20 GHz
Memory: Transcend 8GB JM DDR3 1333 U-DIMM 2Rx8
Graphics Card(s): Gigabyte geforce GTX 650ti OC edtion
