OK Folks,

Since this morning my computer has started giving me BOS. I am a bit at lost here since I never had a BOS before. I need your help trouble shooting this issue. What should I be checking and how.

Rig

PSU Corsair 620
CPU Q 9450
MB P45-DS3R
Ram 2 x 2 Pi Black
GPU Sappire 4780 512
Cooler TR Ultima


Every thing is running stock no OC.

Thanks in advance



 
If this is about the BSOD, it happens at random times, and the PC reboots right away after it, then you can do this:

Control Panel, System, Advanced, Settings (under Startup and Recovery), uncheck "Automatically restart". I'm on XP 64-bit right now, and depending on what OS you have these steps may differ a bit. If you do this, the next time you get a blue screen it will stay there (until you reboot manually). Some times there's some useful info in those blue screens, like the name of a DLL or something. It's often a driver problem, and googling the name of the dll can tell you which driver crashed.
