BSOD randomly when sometimes playing Minecraft or on Skype

[Framoman]

Just tell me how, and I do whatever haha

And also, I changed the power management to comply with Eu something or other. Also i changed my CPU voltage from AUTO to ADAPTIVE. Since then i have run the stress test numerous times and not a a BSOD since (fingers crossed). When i reverted these settings, and tried the test again, it BSOD'ed. I am not sure whether this is just coincidence or... :/

Anyway, I'm keeping those settings as they are for now, and am just seeing whether i get another BSOD.

So the screenshot of the voltages is after the change in the BIOS?
The voltages look fine.

Also MSI has released a BIOS update, I wouldn't rush to flash it just yet!
Let's wait and see if the problem persists after the change.

Yes the voltages are after the bios changes, and thanks. I will let you know if my BSOD occurs again.

 

[YoYo155]

Haven't heard from you in a while, is it a good sign?
Any updates?

 

[Framoman]

No, thankfully I have not had a blue screen since I changed those bios settings thank you both for your help. Should I make the thread solved guys??

 

[YoYo155]

Good to hear!

It's up to you .

Update :/. :


I was using the pc last night and it was running very slowly and freezing and I rebooted it. It will turn on, but not even show the msi splash screen or boot. A few days prior to this, it would load to windows start screen, then blue screen. I'm thinking it's either my mobo, psu, or CPU that's faulty, although if my psu is faulty it could have damaged anything :/. I'm thinking of RMAing the three components, as I have insurance for 28 days, any thoughts guys? :/

Before RMAing, You have another try.

Enter into BIOS setup. Set all UEFI to Legacy; then try a http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/219487-clean-reinstall-factory-oem-windows-7-a.html. Usually it works much more stable.

But before going for it, wait for YoYo ... see if he approves that plan or not. He may have some better plan about the hardware configuration.

 

[YoYo155]

I believe it's a problem with the voltage delivery to the CPU, so it's either: BIOS / PSU / Motherboard
let's tackle them one at a time.

As I mentioned in a previous post of mine MSI has released a new BIOS, the description doesn't hold much information (none at all really) about the changes made so I would hold this for last.
I'd go with what Arc said about setting all the UEFI to Legacy, first.

I need to have the BIOS data to know further, can you post it?


Do you have another (known good) PSU to verify the is indeed the PSU, it will save you the cost of an RMA.

The motherboard is a semi-likely candidate, I strongly believe in a PSU / BIOS fault.

 

[Framoman]

My PC will not actually turn on anymore, the fans aren't turning on, nothing :/ so I can't get hold of anything on it. Any idea what to do?

 

[YoYo155]

Do you have a spare PSU?

 

[Framoman]

I wish so, but sadly not:/

 

[Arc]

Re-seat the power cables. Does it make the PSU fan on? If not, change the PSU.

 

[Framoman]

I don't think the fan spins until it is under load anyway :/

 

[Framoman]

Solved (i hope)

I RMA'ed my four main components. A bent pin was found on the mobo. This has been replaced and it is working fine (as of now). Thank you for all your help guys.

Good to hear
I want to think I was right ...

Thank you for updating with the cause!
