Getting BSODs from playing games, browsing the web, etc.
Hi,
I have been getting BSODs the last 2 days from doing random things such as just browsing the internet (I was trying to google some of the stop codes, and I blue screened one time, go figure) to playing games on my computer.
I custom built my PC 3 months ago, and I recently installed a new heatsink 2 days ago.
My CPU was overclocked to 4.0 with a stock cooler, and I tried to up to to 4.2 once I installed the new heatsink. I'm using an i5-4670k processor with an ASRock Z87 PRO4 motherboard. I set my processor back to normal clock speeds since.
With the new heatsink, my CPU sits at around 40 C idle, and my graphics card sits around 40 C as well idle. The highest my CPU has hit is 61 C while I was playing and streaming watchdogs.
Can't really think of any other changes that went on in the last 2 days.
I also tried to do a system restore to "fix" my BSOD problems, but the system restore failed.
Any help would be appreciated.
