First off i am sorry if this isn't in the right category/forum.

Intel i7 4790 3.6
HyperX 16GB stick
EVGA Geforce 960 SSC
EVGA 500w PS
GIGABYTE GA-B85M-DS3H (REV 3.0)
Seagate 1TB 7200

No parts are Overclocked*


For about 5-6 months i have had random crashing issues, sometimes it happens when im gaming (GTA V, Destiny, 7 days to die) other times it happens when I first log into windows/resume from sleep, boot up, get to the desktop, 30 seconds of sitting there boom blue screen.

however when it does crash, its a literal 1/2 second blue screen, not even enough time to load the BSOD, just boom crash, reboot, then back into windows desktop.

This time it crashed while i was trying to change a youtube video, and the little bit of info i have from the "Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown."

I have heard of Whocrashedit, however i am leary of downloading it do to the unknown factor of knowing if the file is clean/safe ect.

I cant open the .minidump file which is attached to the windows has experienced XXX window without it looking like hieroglyphics. If someone has a way to open it i will include ASAP.


Any idea's/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
