Odd, the crash hasn't been recorded.
Please try to reproduce the BSOD and snap a picture of it.
In the settings of configuring a dump file please make sure you uncheck the automatic restart option so you don't have to rush How to configure minidump | Windows 7 tutorial
Yeah, I'll get a picture when the BSOD happens again. The thing is, 100% of the time it just freezes on the BSOD so there's no rush in me taking a picture. The PC won't restart until I press the off switch.
Also, how can I force a BSOD? Is that possible?
You can force a BSOD, there's a ton of tutorials online on how to do it.
When you force a BSOD, is is natural? Like, would it be the same stop code on the BSOD compared to one that happened naturally/randomly? Or should I just wait it out for another BSOD and then get the picture?
Forcing a BSOD as in saying you want it won't be the same as others because you can force BSOD's even when everything is 100% stable. This is usually only done for testing purpose with debugging software.
Forcing a BSOD as in doing the same that usually gives a BSOD is natural and will give the same results.
Ah, yeah. I had a feeling but just wanted to confirm. I'll wait it out and bump the thread once I have the photo.
Appreciate it, thanks.
TC why are you using anything else but IE personally I don't think there is much difference in the speeds - probably a few more little features I am guessing but is this all worth the hassle?
Now in post #33 I did suggest a few scans and how to post BSOD's and I wanted to see the state of some of the components namely the PSU but if you are inclined not to run with these then I shall unsub because it is dragging out a bit and the others have suggested a quite a few things as well.
IE has horrible speeds on my end. I have really bad Internet as I live in Aus, Tas. Chrome has always been consistent, honestly. I remember the early days back when I got this PC built, a few years back, I only ever used Firefox... I would still get random BSOD.
Sorry about the delay in replying to your post - I honestly forgot. I have downloaded those programs and I'm running the test and it seems so far I have a lot of detected threats when I scanned with Super Anti Spyware.
Also, the PSU is actually pretty new. I had upgraded it a year later after I built the PC as I thought the one that was originally put in the PC might have been causing the BSOD (plus I wanted to do SLI with two GPU's and the current PSU I had wasn't able to do so).
I will update you soon.
Update: There was around one thousand threats detected with Super Anti Spyware. I am now trying AdwCleaner.
Update #2: Just cleaned up the PC using both Super Anti Spyware and ADW.
You said in post #33 for me to send you my specs so I might as well get them out of the way now for you:
Update #3: I am rather lost on the HW info program. Is this correct?
