Thanks, I'll do that if it occurs again!

I ran MemTest86 and it came back with 0 errors, 100% pass. I did the system repair with the install disk as you suggested; I'll let you know if I am BSOD free. Thanks for all of the help thus far!

Hi all, Had a blue screen last night on my build that is ~3 months old. I have had no issues with it up until then. Before I went to bed I ran MemTest86 and it passed at 100%. I was just reading an internet article last night when it BSOD-ed, then it happened again today while I was gone and...

I did a system restore to about two weeks ago before I had any problems and it also undid the WaterFox update. It was fine all day yesterday but then just BSOD-ed again while watching a YouTube video on firefox. I didn't try system repair, how do I do that? Any other suggestions? Very...

I recently completed a new Windows 7 system build; the first few days it was fine, but has started BSOD-ing on boot up. I will restart it and it will usually run fine after. All I did was install updates and a few programs (Office, Firefox, etc). Is there a way to narrow down the issue? I'm...

Hi all, I think I've settled on the GTX 760 for my new build...any recommendation on EVGA vs. MSI? They are both $249.99 on Newegg after rebate, free shoprunner shipping, and about the same clock speeds, etc. Anyone have a preference for one brand over the other...

Thanks I was able to get it, didn't know I needed to put that much pressure on it

Hi everyone--just made my new desktop and all I have left is to choose a video card. My maximum price would be $250 but I'd like to spend a little less if possible. I've been checking out the GTX 760 and the Radeon HD 7950. The 7950 is definitely cheaper ($180-$200 on newegg after rebates)...

Here is the intel bracket http://i41.tinypic.com/2ytupfk.jpg and http://i43.tinypic.com/1zexf94.jpg

Someone please help me, I'm super frustrated and feel like I'm going crazy. Has anyone else installed this? I am trying to screw the Intel clip into the clip support but the bracket is bent (seemingly on purpose) and I don't understand how it's supposed to be screwed in if it's bent. Here's the...

Thanks all for your help and advice!
