It's finally happened. My (I thought) medium-ok to pretty decent PC has been getting slower and slower over the last couple of months, running most games fairly well, occasionaly crashing when it gets very stressed but on the whole nothing deeply worrying and never very often. Today it blue-screened eight times and I just don't know what to make of it. I installed War of The Vikings through Steam last night and started playing it this morning, it runs smoothly with perfect framerate then just crashes without warning. I load it up again and it blue-screens me. This keeps happening, I uninstall it, play other games, reboot, leave it for several hours to cool, blah blah blah etc, now every time I play any game (even like TF2) it'll crash with no warning after 10-20 minutes and about 1/4 of these crashes cause it to bluescreen.
I don't have any idea why this is, is it just my PC getting old? (I've had it about a year)
parts are:
CPU: AMD FX(tm)-6100 xis-core processor
GPU: Radeon HD 7870
At the moment I'm thinking it's most likely the hard drive, probably, but I really don't know. I think I'll have to buy a new one and a new OS licence.
