Hello, Over the past week i have upgraded the PSU, CPU and Graphics Card, I have started having frequent Bluescreens and My PC keeps randomly restarting i have tried taking out the cpu, replacing the ram and even bought a new power supply as i thought this was the problem.

My system has -

960GM-GS3 FX Motherboard

XFX Core Edition Radeon HD 7850 AMD Graphics Card - 2GB

G7 power extreme 680W power supply

4Gb Kingston RAM

Seagate 300GB SATA internal Hard Drive


I am currently running windows 7 64bit home edition and also im not over-clocking my cpu.

Thanks.

When you upgraded the CPU/Graphics card - did you make sure all of the drivers are up to date - also uninstall drivers that are no longer used?

When opening Event Viewer - are you seeing errors/warnings that would give an error code? With each BSOD - there should be events recorded in the event viewer that might give an indication of what is going on....

Windows often will install drivers that aren't the best for your hardware with a fresh install. A good example - running on Windows 7, I have a ASUS GeForce210 Silent video card. Windows drivers cause BSOD about 70% of the time when booting. I downloaded the latest drivers from ASUS, installed them, and the BSOD is gone.

You need to make sure that your mobo, GPU and any other devices have the most current drivers from the manufacturer.

There is a BSOD Log viewer (free) at http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html

You may get more information there.

Those errors indicate an issue with video drivers and/or memory. To troubleshoot:

1) From the manufacturer's website - download the latest drivers for your video card. Make sure to uninstall and remove the previous driver before installing the new one.

2) If that doesn't solve the problem - download and run memtest: http://www.memtest86.com/

You may have to run at least 10-20 passes of the memory test.
