PLEASE HELP - My pc blue screens/crashes all the time when gaming (CSGO Mainly)

[Darthlightning]

Every time I game especially on CSGO I BSOD and I have had this problem for months. Ive been installing and uninstalling drivers but nothing. Every single BSOD/crash has a different error but occur when gaming.
Sometimes it would crash then not crash for the rest if the day.

BOSD mainly memory fault,or when hardware is overclocked as memory,cpu or gpu.

In addition to Kap, overheating due to insufficient cooling or excessive dust/dirt accumulation can cause this as well.

Please provide your complete system specifications, including the brand and model (not just wattage) of your PSU.
For the errors to all be different points to something like an overstressed PSU wandering out of spec, or possibly a RAM problem. If it were a driver, you'd likely see related error messages.

I used memtest and while I was booting up, I have 2 sticks

What motherboard do you have? Is your system overclocked?
How old is your PSU? There are many reports of Corsair "CX" units not lasting more than a year due to their inferior Samxon capacitors.

Its a driver/software problem becuase it only happens for certain games

 

[Onus]

Not necessarily. A driver problem would tend to produce identical error messages. Whether or not it happens in a particular game could be dependent on how stressful that game is, e.g. how much power your system needs from your PSU to run it.

Its csgo mainly however this problem started occuring 8 or so moths after i go my pc and in thta time updated some drivers and stuff

 

[Onus]

You might completely remove all video drivers, reboot, then install the latest ones for your card. If that does not help, and you've ruled out RAM problems, then the PSU is about all that is left.

you wanna try boot in a safe mode just in case its not Windows DRIVERS get corrupted. causing BOSD.

But...your mobo is the 970A-G43? That could be it. That board has weak VRMs. They might be overheating: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AgN1D79Joo7tdE9xMUFlMEVWeFhuckJEVF9aMmtpUFE&gid=0

How do I set it to defualt settings so all overcock is off and stuff for motherboard

 

[Onus]

Reset the BIOS to defaults with the jumper on the motherboard.

whats that

 

[Onus]

There should be a small black "cap" over a couple of pins on the motherboard, probably near its battery. There will be an adjacent position to which it should be moved for about ten seconds. Do this with the power off. After ten seconds, put it back in its original place.

could you link me to a video please

 

[Onus]

Video sites are blocked at work. Your motherboard manual should have a picture of this jumper cap and similar instructions on resetting your BIOS.

Blocked for me, but I'm not the one who needs it, so...

Hopefully it will indeed help.
