BSoD caused by address "ntoskrnl.exe+748c0" (maybe related to Youtube?
I'm sorry to bother you, but I've been having a few crashes lately & I was wondering if you might be able to point me to the cause. (I apologize in advance if the below is too wordy or /way/ too much information, I'm just trying to give you a complete picture.)
The issues started a few weeks ago when I got a BSoD that Windows couldn't recover from, so I did a clean install. After that, it continued to give me a BSoD two more times, so I ordered a 120GB SSD to dedicate for the OS only. (I had the OS partitioned off before, but it didn't have it's own physical drive.)
Sadly, even with a clean install on the dedicated drive, I got another BSoD. I then thought that maybe my PSU wasn't strong enough to handle the extra drive + my system, so I installed an 850w PSU. For the last week, I haven't had any BS's so I /thought/ that I had solved the problem, but it crashed again last night.
I was able to restart the computer & nothing was lost or damaged, but I obviously haven't fixed the issue so I thought that I would pester you to see if you could give me some direction on solving the issue.
(And I don't know if it helps at all, but at least two of the BSoD's occurred while watching a Youtube video; the error code & address in the title was taken from BlueScreenView, so it may or may not be useful, I'm just trying to help.)
My system specs are:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit
CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K @ 3.40GHz (Haswell)
RAM: 8GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 666MHz
MB: MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate(MS-7850)
GPU: Asus (AMD) Radeon R9290 w 4GB
PSU: Thermaltake 850w Smart M
Drives (probably not important, but just in case):
120GB SSD for OS only
500GB Hybrid SSD/HDD for programs, games, some storage, & a dedicated Page File of 12GB (8.04GB used)
1TB HDD for extra storage & backups
The average temperatures are:
CPU - 26C
MB - 32C
GPU - 37C
OS drive is 30C; other drives are 25C & 27C
(I think that I've covered every possible spec that may be useful, but if I've overlooked anything - be sure to let me know!)
Once again, I'm sorry to bother you with this & I apologize for the length, but is there a chance that you could point me to the culprit? Or at least give me a direction to try?
Thank you in advance for your time & know that I appreciate any advice you can give me.
Cheers & All the best!
