Hey all,
I bought basically a new computer in parts which arrived on monday. Since i put my PC together and installed windows 7, i've been having constant problems with it. First of all i was getting BSOD when i was playing games/browsing firefox to which i reinstalled windows again and that went. However since then all my games seem to crash whenever i play them, either near enough instantly, or about 5 minutes in or less, even iTunes has crashed once or twice, the same with flash player when playing an online browser game.
I've done a Memtest86 which came back with 7 passes 0 errors, i've also stress tested my processor again as i bought it pre-overclocked from overclockers, to which that came back all passed, all my temperatures haven't ever been above 55-65 when running this test either.
I've got the latest drivers available (to my knowledge) for my hardware too. It's getting really annoying now as i bought this new pc to be able to play games at the highest settings and video footage to make films etc.
I attached that file from the diagnostic tool thing too.
Any help would be much appreciated
My specs/new parts :-
"Krypton Z77 660i" Intel Core i5 3570K 3.40GHz @ 4.40GHz DDR3 Ivybridge Overclocked Bundle - 8gb Ram

OCZ ZT 650W '80 Plus Bronze' Modular Power Supply
Kingston 120GB SSDNow V+200 Drive SATA 6Gb/s - (SVP200S3/120G)
