Please help - I am getting occasional BSODs with no obvious trigger - sometimes while playing high-end games, sometimes while the computer is idling.

I'd be very grateful for any advice!

Thanks. I've already run MemTest with no issues and, having just run FurMark, there were no issues there. What else might be causing it?

You need to run MemTest86+ for a minimum of 8 passes. Once you have, please upload photo showing results.

Apologies for the delay - I've now managed to find a period long enough to run Memtest for 8+ passes and it came out fine (see attached). Running the stress tests though seemed to replicate the issue, which might suggest it's an overheating issue. I've cleaned all the vents, etc. inside and outside the case, but it still seems to be triggered (I haven't wanted to do it too many times). Why might this suddenly have started to be a problem - it's 4.5 years old and hasn't had this before...?

Which stress test triggered the BSOD?
