I have been getting recurring BSODs at random, for a while now. I'm not sure when it started but it's driving me mad now. I game on my rig for hours at a time (ME1&2, FC1&2, Dead Space, LockOn, COD, Oblivion, Project64, PSXe, etc.) and have never had, nor get, a BSOD while doing so
It only seems to happen when I have browser windows open (be it Fire Fox or Opera) and when YouTube tabs are present. It happens at random, sometimes I can surf and watch videos for 5hrs+, other times as soon as I play the first video. Sometimes I don't have to have the youtube tab active or the video playing. I can pause the vid, and be busy doing something else and it will BSOD.
I tried uninstalling any odd programs, making sure my drivers/Windows were up to date (updating Radeon drivers as I speak), and have downgraded my versions of both browsers and Flash. Still happens, this time it's happened twice today. I'm at a loss and hope someone here can help.
System Specs:
Asus Maximus IV Gen-Z/Gen3
Core i5-2500K @ 3.30ghz
Sapphire Radeon HD6950 (2gb Version)
G. SKILL RipJaws Series 12gb RAM (3x4gb) DDR3@1600
Rosewill RNX-N250PCe Wireless adapter
WD1001FAES 1TB internal HDD
SeaSonic X650 Gold SS-650KM (650W) PSU
Windows 7 Professional x64 (Installed from non-branded OEM disc)
System was first powered up about February. OS installed same day.
I feel I should mention I ran disk cleanup several days ago so the number of minidumps left are only a few or so. Hopefully somebody can help me out =/
