Hello,

So I recently built a new computer with mostly new and some recycled parts. It's also my first build that I have overclocked. I have been having crashes when my computer idles (at least I think it's when I idle because it never crashes when I'm in front of the computer) and I was wondering if anyone could help me.

Also if someone could help me figure out how to attach the dump file that would be awesome.

 
There's about 10 of these all saying the same thing under "Bug Check Description"

On Sun 6/28/2015 7:29:39 PM GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\062815-12807-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: hal.dll (hal+0x12A3B)

Bug check description: This bug check indicates that a fatal hardware error has occurred. This bug check uses the error data that is provided by the Windows Hardware Error Architecture (WHEA).
This is likely to be caused by a hardware problem problem. This problem might be caused by a thermal issue.
The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system that cannot be identified at this time.
 
So I had disabled the cpu overclocking and it still crashed. But then I also disabled the RAM overclocking (of the Mobo cause 1866 is native to my ram) and I haven't had a problem since.
 
I was wondering if I needed a stronger power supply. Why would it crash when I idle though? Also it totally crashed like 15 times while it was idling while I was getting my car serviced today.

I used PC part picker to check to see if my PSU would work or not but it could be wrong.

--------------------------------------

After some quick google searches I found on NVidia's website they recommend at least a 500W. It says the card should only draw 145W. So with all my extras and stuff I should be close to 350W of draw on 460W of output. W/e. It's a three year old PSU anyways so I wanted to replace it sooner than later. I was running through my head asking how one of these awesome new parts could be having a heat issue but a power supply issue makes alot more sense.
 
Yes but your psu is not even 80+ rated. Definitely psu. Also when you say idle it still jumps once in a while and draws more power. If it's 70+ rated that means 460 w gives you about 320 to 340 w. Not enough. Get rosewill capstone 80+ gold 550w .. should be enough but might be pushing it when you doing a major oc or get another gpu later
 
The thing that really confuses me is that it'll game just fine, which is when I would assume has the most power draw happening. It only has a problem with idling.
