Hello everyone!!
I have a rig for about three months and there are many blue screens with bug code 0x00000116. Based on what i have read in the Internet it is either a defected piece of hardware(not in my case,because i have tested it) either a temprature problem (i didnt find such problems) or a ground problem. Whenever i touched my case, there was a bsod. Also i have disconnected the usb 3.0 cable from the mobo. I tried to change place of my pc case and i experimented with removing the two panels. Honestly, my cable management is not the best. My rear panel is very tight closed. Right now i have removed and when i touch the case,nothing happens. Is it possible because of my bad cable management to cause a grounding problem? Blue screens occured also randomly during day.i haven't tried to put back my rear panel yet.

My rig is:
CPU: Intel Core i5 4690k
gpu: nVidia gtx 760
RAM: corsair vengeance 2x4gb
case: corsair 450d
PSU: corsair rm750

Thanks in advance!

But i think it's strange that now when i touch my case,nothing happens! I will try to update the drivers to latest version.
 


Unfortunately, it happened again today. I have the latest nvidia drivers and the memtest passes both stages. One of my cpu cooler fasteners is not inserted correctly (i cant push it down). I have the stock intel cpu cooler. Could it be that a problem? Generally my temperatures are normal.
 
I ve just made a discovery!!! My gpu requires a 6pin connector and an additional 6+2pin connector. The 6+2pin connector splits into a 6pin and a 2pin. When i first assembled my rig i inserted the 6pin and afterwards the 2-pin. As a result my 2pin connectors was not fully inserted into the gpu. I have also noticed that sometimes during boot i get a message "Please turn off power and connect pci e power cables". Regarding my previous posts and all the bsod history, could it be the source of the problem?
