This has to have been one of the silliest thing I have ever done but I just wanted to confirm, I recently installed a new mobo and processor, I installed all the drivers but one of them obviously did not install correctly. I was not however hinted that it wasn't downloaded correctly by the notice that popped up on every restart. This was around 20 minutes ago but I usually BSOD'd every hour or so. Would this have been the cause of my BSOD?

Update: It could not have been this as I have blue screened after doing this. My CPU is at around 30 degrees Celsius at idol, after doing some more research this is not healthy, bearing in mind it is an i7 4770k though. I have only BSOD'd when playing games such as ArmA and Battlefield 4. Please could someone help.

When ever I build a new PC, I always JUST load Window 7 / 8 from scratch onto a new hard disk (or SSD).....

I've Never had to install any driver off the Chipset drivers from Intel or AMD, the Windows 7/8 install does all that for you....

Once you do a fresh install, download "SpeedFan" or "CPU-Z" and check the temperatures of your CPU & GPU. Also, list all the components in your system. Be sure to include power supply brand/model, and wattage too.

You have ALL top quality components.....

Your CPU temps are fine. You don't mention an aftermarket CPU cooler, assume your using stock cooler. SO, do Not OC that CPU as you'll quickly get too hot (> 80C...)

Post your GPU temperatures idle/and in gaming..... ( < 85C is Fine for GPU)

If you don't have any temperature problems I'd go with a fresh, clean install of Windows 7, NO chipset drivers this time thou.... (just use a spare hard drive for this "Test".... then if it's not the problem you won't have lost any time in getting things all back to normal ...)

hi, im his friend and just today he has been having even more problems, his steam has messed up. This is a screenshot of it:http://prntscr.com/2kd0df and he also cant open any of his games on steam. He has gone out to get a cpu cooler because he has tested everything else but I think at just one point his cpu just overloads for some reason and heats up really quickly for him to crash, we were playing arma 3 last night for half an hour and just 10 mins before he BSOD'ed he said his temps were around 60 which where fine but as I said 10 mins later he crashed.

CPU temps below 80C are good... you won't actually crash until you get to above about 95C thou....

Post those video card (GPU) temperatures..... if your < 85C there your good

(Sorry, I can't read the language in your screen shot posting....)

CPU temps are absolutely fine. If its BSOD'ing while you're typing or doing non-cpu intensive work then there's an issue with your hardware.

Is it possible for you to bring onboard a smaller harddrive and proceed with a fresh install of Windows OS (7/8). I went through a similar incident where the HDD was failing to begin with and kept giving me random BSOD's.

Which brings me to the next point; whats the error code on your BSOD?

As I installed my new mother board and processor I have already installed windows 7 again, and I do not have another hard drive to do a completely fresh install. Things have become very complicated lately as I upgraded from an AMD FX-6100 and an MSI 990xa-GD55 and have been getting these BOSD's, I have no idea how to stop them happening I can only assume it something to do with swapping mainboard. I have tested my HDD it is completely fine but have not tested my memory as most programmes like memtest as they have to be booted from a disk. I really just wanted to get my computer working again.
Also to make things even better Steam has a backwards text glitch which I cannot solve, I cannot open games anymore.

"(Sorry, I can't read the language in your screen shot posting....)" hahaha no the problem he's having with steam is that all of his words are backwards, it does seem like a different language though.

I will attempt to make it crash and then take a photo of the error message.

here's what you do.

Start>computer right button, manage. On the left hand corner go to event viewer and you'll be able to see a list of failures your rig underwent. Don't take a picture, rather copy and paste the info you'll find there.

I'll need the postage, otherwise I can't help you.

Furthermore, look around for a small capacity sata hdd and install your OS on it. Troubleshooting each driver/software will take you more than a few days(read a few headaches and a week) to rid your system of the problem.

I have done this but am not sure what to copy and paste.
