Is there any way to determine whether it is the CPU, MoBo or RAM? I will try swapping out the RAM sticks one at a time so I can probably narrow it down to either being the CPU or the MoBo. I don't particularly want to replace both if it is only 1 of the components that is broken.

I am getting a BSOD when using my computer. I can force it to happen by doing a CPU stress test (but it can take a few minutes to happen) but it will also just happen if the PC is left idle. The specs for my PC are: i5 7600k ASUS LGA 1151 STRIX GAMING Intel Z270 Corsair CX750 Cooler Master...

I think the igdkmd64.sys might be a bit of a red herring. I have just had a BSOD again with the same error message. The mini dump doesn't show igdkmd64.sys any more. Here are the 2 new files: Kernel Memory Dump: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ckv8wk0v83gtzsa/MEMORY.DMP?dl=0 Minidump...

Ok so I have done some additional things to try and solve this: 1. Format SSDs 2. Remove graphics card (just using onboard graphics now) 3. Re-install Windows 10 4. Install all update from Microsoft 5. Update the BIOS version to latest 6. Get updates from Asus (chipset, LAN, VGA) 7. Run a...

I am getting an I5 7600K and 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM. Can I get suggestions for a decent mobo at around £100 - £150? I'll have a gtx 1070 in the Pc and it will be used for gaming. Many thanks!

For the Motherboard, CPU, CPU cooler and memory (which are the only outstanding items), between £450 - £500. The CPU is around £230 which leaves £220 - £270 for the other items.

I have a parts list below. The only 3 things I know that I want are: GTX 1070 (already purchased) I5 7600K 16GB of RAM (would like DDR4-3000) Apart from that, I have no idea: What motherboard is best? (I just picked the highest rated one at around the price I would like to pay) What CPU...
