Hello all,
I have a bit of an issue going on with my desktop.
It is running a Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3SH, 8 gigs DDR3, i5 3570k (no over clock currently), Windows 7 Ultimate, a 1 TB HDD and a 650 Watt PSU.
Here is the story: I built the computer, and only thing I carried over was the case and the psu. The computer was running fine with the new build, everything was fast and no issues. Then I started getting random BSOD's (I don't remember the error codes). Next, windows updates were not installing.
I did a clean install with a new HDD. Blue screens seemed to have gone away and was still trying to figure out the update issue.
Jump to today: I left my computer on for a while, it was downloading SP1 from updates. I returned home, and my computer had been restarted (BSOD I assume). My computer was trying to check my C drive for issues. Only where it says "press any key in the next X second(s)," it was frozen at one second. I manually restarted the computer and started to load windows. Right when the boot screen starts to come up the computer BSODs. I can't get into windows, and the screen is up and gone so quickly I cannot ready any of the numbers or anything. I can only tell that it's blue.
I ran memtest when I first starting having issues and it was fine. Should I run it again?
I have now disassembled the computer, and the MoBo is sitting on a cardboard box with the CPU and 1 ram stick in. I had taken all the pieces and parts out that I thought might have come lose or something, but that didn't help.
I tired a new PSU with just the MoBo and HDD running. The computer still crashed.
I'm starting to think it is the MoBO itself. It is only a few months old but maybe something happened to it.
Any suggestions on what to do next? Ways to test other options, tips?
I'm starting to lose it over here. :banghead::banghead::banghead:
Thanks,
Raw
Oh yeah, I can't post a crash report (that I know of) because I cannot get into Windows.
