Hi

Im gaming on a 40" Samsung HDTV

My system is a

HD7870 OC Sapphire Ghz
970a d3 gigbyte
Phenom II X4 965 - antec h20 cooler
DDR3 G.Skill Ares 2x4GB PC3-12800 (800 MHz)
Silverstrider 600w


Im getting random bluescreen in gaming like bf3 flying crashing choppers on ultra
and sometime in other games like assasins creed 2, arma 3 alpha, cs go,

I've turned down the settings but it still happens

I have been OCing though software like easyboost, I used to use turbo switch on my old m4nt68 board and i think the temp got pretty high without a good cooler


And Trixx for the gfx card

But have stopped OC due to try get rid of bluescreen issue

they may have started around the same time as the gfx install
but it was kind of a new build mobo/ram/psu

and i was having windows boot/welcome screen issues with malwarebytes and eset

which was why I built a new system


so any help is appreciated
Cheers

Hi
if i have to heal you system :
- clean from dust
- clear BIOS or load Defaults
- Hirens Boot Cd -> Memtest 86+ for 3-4 passes
- if there are errors decreas the RAM modules
- Hirens Boot Cd -> Memtest 86+ for 3-4 passes
- if there is no errors than throbleshoot faulty RAM
- if there are 20 -30 000 erors it`s a CPU fault
- if you have RAM and CPU ok then
- Hirens Boot Cd -> MHDD for 100% HDD test use Del delays
- if there are errors but they are fixed OK -> reboot load OS and test stability
- if there are red errors replace HDD

Hi
I have downloaded memtest and will try later, I noticed some advice on another thread about turning off windows aero
back to windows 7 basic in desktop themes.
I have stopped OCing cpu totally and changed the desktop theme setting and is much more stable

thanks for your input

Hi silviad!

A good thing to do to be able to solve BSOD's is to get the BSOD error message.

Usually, the BSOD happens really fast, and just restarts your system before you can get the error. To give you more time to check it out the next time it happens, here's what you can do.

1. Right Click on My Computer.
2. Select Properties.
3. Click on Advanced System Settings.
4. Click on Settings on Startup and Recovery.
5. Under System Failure, uncheck Automatically Restart.

The next time a BSOD happens you should be able to get the error code, which will greatly help.

Good luck!
