BSOD on fresh new install of Win7 Home x64
Hi,
last night I had a BSOD coming out of nowhere. I left the PC idle for a couple of hours and when I came back I woke up my LCD screen (I deactivated all the sleep options except for the screen) and launched Chrome to go on facebook or something. As soon as I clicked on the FB favorite, I got a BSOD.
This is a newly built computer, well, almost newly as I only changed the CPU and added 4GB of RAM to my previous setup.
Current system specs (cnages are in bold):
OS: Windows 7 Home x64
CPU: Intel C2Q Q9650 @ 3Ghz
MB: Asus P5K
RAM: 4x 2GB OCZ Reaper PC2-8500 @ 1066Mhz
GC: Asus EN8500GT 512MB DDR2
SSD: OCZ Vertex Turbo 60GB 1.5 FW (SYSTEM)
HD: 2x Seagate 500GB
Previous system specs:
OS: Windows XP SP3 x32
CPU: Intel C2D E6750 @ 2.66Ghz
MB: Asus P5K
RAM: 2x 2GB OCZ Reaper PC2-8500 @ 800Mhz
GC: Asus EN8500GT 512MB DDR2
HD: 2x Seagate 500GB (SYSTEM)
I also had a previous crash but no BSOD: the screen went dark and Winamp began to loop indefinitely 1s of the track I was listening to. I had to manually reset the computer.
Thanks in advance for your help!
EDIT: For what it's worth I'd like to mention I never had a single BSOD with my XP system
