first time posting here but have been lurking for quiet some time and this forum has helped me countless times,

i built my PC 2-3 weeks ago and everything ran perfect until today when i was playing games on steam (Borderlands 2 ) the game crashed twice in 2 hours which was a first on this PC but i didn't think to much of it.

as the day went on more and more crashes happened and then i started to get the blue screen of death after about 15 mins of usage just on the web, before i got to my current state which is not allowing me to get past automatic repair i was able to check that my GPU was updated using geforce experience and everything was fine when it came to drivers.

when i got the blue screen of death the main error message i got was memory_management

as of right now my PC is pretty much in a automatic repair loop but i can still get onto the bios if i need to

specs below
windows 8.1
2x8 16gb Cosair vengeance ram DDR3
Intel core 15-3570k Processor LGA 1155
Gigabyte B75M-D3H Motherboard LGA 1155
EVGA 2GB GDDR5 Geforce GTX 770
Cosair GS600 Power supply unit 2013 edition gaming series
Samsung SSD 840 evo 120gb
Seagate 1tb HDD

hopefully i didn't leave anything out i will be on for the next few hours if you have any questions

Edit: i have tested and my HSF is installed correctly and i have tried loading windows 8 again and when i go to 'repair your computer' > 'troubleshoot' > "refresh your pc" i get "the drive where windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again"

i am going to try to install windows 8.1 again soon i doubt a factory reset will do much.

thanks in advance
 


how would i go about testing my hardware on my PC as i cant get to a website like memtest or even my desktop?
 
It seems that it is a hardware problem, try to reinstall windows or create a partition and run a hardware test tool. (Hirens Boot for example has a bunch of tools to test and check hardware from a live cd/usb)
 


then how are you posting here?

all new pcs should be stress tested
 


i am posting this from my latop.

by stress tested i assume you mean pushed to the limit processing power wise and i did that for 2-3 weeks with no issues (i built the PC didn't buy it pre built)


 




Hahaha nice questions xD I'm at work LMAO :bounce:
