Helped my brother put together a brand new computer roughly a month ago. From the day I left, he has been plagued with random restarts (not constant, ranging from 3-9 a week).
Basic specs off the top of my head:
CPU: Intel I7
Ram: Gskill 4x4gb
Mobo: Asus 77 chipset
GPU: Nvidia 670gtx
PSU: 550w
HDD: 1TB (single drive)
USB WiFI (Cisco)
Windows 7 ultimate.
Now, I've tried uninstalling GPU drivers, reinstall gpu drivers, fresh install of windows with all up to date drivers off the web.. he still gets them. The report below shows only 4gb of memory (this is from when I was trying to diagnose if ram was an issue and only had 1 stick installed). Still in the processes of checking the ram... any other ideas? It clearly points to the driver causing the crash but it could be a variety of things.
