I built my rig about a year ago and a half ago. I thought I was having issues with my video card (EVGA SuperClocked GeForce GTX 580) but exchanged it a couple months ago, and haven't had any issues until a game installed last week. Ive been getting some random fractals now and got a couple BSOD. What should I do to find out what the issue is?
This seems to only happen when Im gaming (Thats all i do with this rig)
Ive gotten a couple random lockup and crashes previously and haven't been able to locate what the problem is. Im almost at the end of my wits. This is the 3rd or 4th rig I put together.
Is there any way to track down the problem? Ive run some video tests but they all came back fine. I ran a memtest and that came back fine. Im assuming its something with the MB but if I pull out the CPU and get a new MB then thats at least $400 worth of (maybe a fix)? Any suggestions are well received.
