Okay so basically I upgraded my monitor from 2x 1080p 22" to 1x 2160p 32". Ever since the upgrade I've been getting blue screen of deaths.

They happen randomly, usually once or twice within 24 hours. Sometimes the computer can be doing nothing, sometimes I'm just watching YouTube or a movie. I have used a FurMark to GPU and CPU stress my rig and during the tests I don't BSOD.

I don't stress the computer out on any hard processes I only use it for browser the web and watching content pretty much and rarely ever game and when I do it's usually not a graphics intensive game. On Speccy all my temperatures seem relatively low. 40c CPU 34c GPU (Full temps and specs pictured below)

However if I change from sources on the monitor or turn the monitor off and on when the monitor connects again my File Folder box always goes to the top left of the screen and resizes really small, it happens to skype also but not every time and some other applications chrome never resizes or moves though. I just upgraded my GPU drivers last night and I still got a BSOD today so I don't think that's the problem. I also upgraded drivers the day I switched to the new monitor and that's all I've really changed about my computer since I have been getting the BSOD's other than using a DP to DP cable so I could use 2160p resolution.

Oh I also returned my old GPU (Was also getting BSOD on that GPU) and got the same exact card replacement and I'm still getting BSOD.
