For some reason, I didn't get notified of your post. Don't have time at the moment to pursue this.
There is software for the Antec but I can't remember the name- Antec Guide? I'll have to look later.

Seems that the software I was thinking of is the ChillControl for the 920.
According to this-
Antec KÜHLER H2O 620 CPU cooler Review - Features & Specifications
the 620 has no control software but the fan speed is variable from 1450-2000 RPM.
Key thing to do would be to visually check to see if the fan is actually quitting when you get the BSOD. When you posted about that earlier, you were using monitoring software to monitor fan speed.
Yes, I think that is my next step. I'll have to rearrange a bit so that I can easily see the fan for the cooler; of course, it has to be the rear upper that I have to crawl behind with a light to get a visual.
I like to make people crawl.Did a little bit of that myself yesterday.
Sorry for the delayed reply. Got sidetracked with the holidays.
So I did physically check the CPU fan the one time I was able to catch it in a timely fashion, and was spinning when I looked at it. Still undetermined if it actually stops. If it does it is only for a very short time.
As another test (or to satisfy my own curiosity), I was able to get my OS cloned onto another drive (actually an identical SSD to the currently active one). I used an image that dated back to before Steam or any of that was installed, and have not had any trouble since. I've gotten no 'low resources' errors or anything of that sort either. Which gives me the suspicion of a software problem or corrupt Windows component rather than a hardware problem. Also since I did that, I noticed a HUGE difference in boot time and all-around performance.
Being fresh into the trial of the clone, I will not jump to any immediate conclusions, but sure looks promising.
Happy New Year!
I think the fan I was talking about is the fan on the radiator. Since you've seemed to have found a solution, it's a moot point.
Yes, that is correct (CPU fan = radiator fan). I've not yet had much time for testing, but sure looks promising so far. When I can confirm no further issues, I will report back and mark solved.
Thanks again, wither, for seeing this thing through. I'm glad there are people like yourself who are still willing to help others.
Well, it's been 2 weeks. Is everything okay?
So far, so good. I still have yet to have any abnormal errors, crashes, or anything else of the like. I've also been doing some light-to-fair 3d rendering and no issues there either. I'm going to go ahead and check this thread as solved. Although the source of the initial trouble still remains a mystery, I believe it's been narrowed down to an undetected operating system error, since I was able to revert back to an earlier image backup and have everything working properly again.
Thanks again for all the support. You rock!
