Intel i7 CPU but showing AMD64 archetecture

[w32e31]

How can I have an Intel i7 processor, yet windows show AMD 64 as the processor archetecture? Could this be the cause of my "blue screen" probelms?

AMD originally developed the 64 bit extention to the x86 architecture. Therefore, modern 64 bit processors use the AMD64 instruction set regardless of whether it's Intel or AMD. This is normal and probably not the cause of your Windows issue.

Thank you.

Blue screen is probably a bad Overclock setting, if you overclock, or bad memory. Could be a bad driver as well.
