Hi,
So every day, without fail, I get a BSOD, usually I just go to click on something and everything freezes for a few seconds and then BSOD.
I ran memtest last night while I was asleep, no problems in 4 passes.
Temperatures are below 50 degrees pretty much always on all cores, i7 2600k.
Would be grateful for any suggestions, and happy to provide any other info required.
Cheers,
John

What's the error code when you get the BSOD?

Open System > Click "Advanced System Properties" on the left > under "Startup and Recovery" click Settings and make sure "Automatically Restart" is not checked.

You can try and force the BSOD using this:

Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/101379-driver-verifier-enable-disable.html

Driver Verifier will cause your computer to run very sluggishly - this is normal. What it is trying to do is force your system to BSOD and isolate the offending driver/s. When it does, reboot, disable driver verifier, reboot as normal and upload the new dmp file/s here.

I recommend creating a system restore point before turning on driver verifier:

If your system fails to boot to desktop once driver verifier is enabled, turn it off by booting into Safe Mode:
