BSOD With Unknown Triggers (Dump Files Attached)
Hey all,
I've been having about 2-3 BSOD's a month since I built this computer, and since they were fairly intermittent and my rig rebooted immediately after, I had been ignoring them. However, since yesterday I have had about 4-5 of them and decided it's about time I poked around looking for a solution.
Details:
>I'm not sure what causes them. It never seems to be when I'm doing the same thing. For example, last night I was simply watching Netflix. Earlier today it happened when working in MS Word.
>I have not done any overclocking until today. I wanted to see if I could get anything with my GPU, but with black screening with even +50MHz, I decided it wasn't worth it and reapplied default settings.
>I was poking around in my BIOS earlier and discovered my RAM is operating at 1333 rather than the rated 1600. A couple of hours later, I had another BSOD, but because of the gap in time I can't be sure if that caused it. I dropped it back down to 1333 just to be sure.
>Booting up has been really sluggish today specifically.
That's everything I can think would be pertinent.
I talked with MS support and they want 100 bucks to help out. I'm looking to avoid that.
Any help would be vastly appreciated,
