Certain games are causing my pc to just blue screen randomly now (skyrim, BFBC2). I've been monitoring my gpu and cpu temps with afterburner and aren't noticing anything out of the ordinary. Ive included and attached some event logs/dump files. Im thinking it might be my PSU. I do keep my pc running almost 24/7.

Here is my computer specs
NZXT Phantom White | [email protected] | EVGA 3G GTX660 Ti SC FTW+ | 16 Gig Corsair Vengence LP | Asus P8Z68-V Pro | Corsair H100 | NZXT 750W PSU


any help would be great.

In UEFI, or BIOS, maybe consider setting the computer fans to run full-speed always.

A stray crash dump is not enough. Post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions . Attach the data with your reply post.

Also as you have doubt about overheating, report us the heat of the computer after a couple of hours of your normal usage. Upload a screenshot of the summery tab of Speccy. Alternatively, you can publish a Speccy snapshot too: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/311593-speccy-publish-snapshot-your-system-specs.html .



I've updated the OP with the zip file and here is a published shot from speccy

You are supposed to attach the data with your reply post. An editing to the original post dose not notify anything ...

The crash dumps are not very specific about anything.
Code:
BugCheck A, {40, 2, 1, fffff800030df018}

Probably caused by : Wdf01000.sys ( Wdf01000!FxUsbPipeContinuousReader::_FxUsbPipeRequestComplete+20e )

Test your RAM modules for possible errors. Run memtest86+ for at least 8 consecutive passes.

If it start showing errors/red lines, stop testing. A single error is enough to determine that something is going bad there.

If it does not show any error, enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers. Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

   Information
Why Driver Verifier:
It puts a stress on the drivers, ans so it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.

How Can we know that DV is enabled:
It will make the system bit of slow, laggy.

   Warning
Before enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.

If there is no points, make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.

   Tip


Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.

Memtest yielded no errors but after using verifier i was getting immediate BSOD at start up. here is a collection of dump files. I've also ran DM collector and attached the results from that as well just in case any new information would be added.

Two crash dumps ... two different things.

VMware USB monitor
Code:

None of them are having an old/backdated driver.

At this point it appears to be a hardware issue, because it is not usual that the crashers are so versatile. And some parts of the hardware (like motherboard) cannot be tested.

Do a clean reinstall. It will nullify (apparently) the possibility of a driver related BSODs .... and see how it goes.

I am not saying to go for a clean reinstall as a possible fix. It is needed for the troubleshooting IMHO.
