Hello all!

Apologies I've had to register a new account because I no longer have access to my email account to recover the old a/c.

This is a fairly new system build I did 2 months ago and it threw a BSOD whilst playing Civ V. I've recently updated Catalyst driver so at the minute I'm pointing my finger at that!

I've ran verifier and there should be a dump of that also in the zip as the system would not boot

Your help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks Arc. I suspect it's probably the i5 needing a bit more Vcore. It confused me as stress testing hadnt thrown up any BSOD but when playing this game for some reason it does.

Brink, trouble is I can't remember the user name.

The BSOD has been solved by increasing the Vcore but now I get an application error which is reported by event viewer. The problem goes away if I reduce the CPU ratio/speed by 0.2Ghz.

Could any give any advice on this? Or should I perhaps head to a overclock forum? Or just be boring and return CPU to stock?
