    BSOD at random times 2-3 times per day with different errors

    Hey all. I have been getting BSODs everyday for a couple months now. At first, since the BSODs started at around the same time as I received my new motherboard and cpu (MSI PC Mate Z97 + Intel i5-4690K), I thought the BSODs were caused by this new hardware, but I am not certain as I updated...

    Consistent BSODs after new motherboard and CPU

    Actually, with high suspicions that it was an AMD driver issue I found this: https://community.amd.com/thread/203600 Seems recent AMD drivers have had problems, but then again the bsod is possibly another issue.

I use my PC often and it will blue screen about 3-5 times a day. I have tried installing all drivers from the PC Mate Z97 part of MSI's...

    Intel i5 4690K vs Intel i5 6600K (with motherboard cost in consideration)

    I recently had an issue with my motherboard and instead of replacing the motherboard alone I decided to buy a motherboard that supports an Intel CPU so I could finally replace my AMD fx-6300. I settled with a MSI PC Mate Z97 and a Intel i5 4690K. I already had DDR3 ram so there would be no...
