BlueScreen constant crashing errors

[Jonathan_King]

If you give us your motherboard, we can find you a BIOS update.

Use SIW if you don't know.

It's probably not a threat. Some hardware or software is acting up, probably hardware.

If you got an infection, your anti-virus would probably pick it up, and wouldn't shut down the machine.

Use CPU-Z to determine your clock speed. Then Google your processor, and see what the factory speed is.

Go here and search for your motherboard: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support-

The last BIOS update was from more than a year ago; still worth checking though.

yea i already found a 9040 update 2 run but i havent done it yet coz im scared

 

[Jonathan_King]

What version is your current BIOS? BTW, a BIOS update is not to be feared. It needs to be done, and if you follow the directions, nothing bad will happen.

Your choice.

Let us know when you get sick of the BSODs.

You can also test your other hardware. Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder. Boot from the CD, and run at least 5 passes.
