I'm building my first computer and have encountered an extremely frustrating problem. After installing everything, I receive a BSOD after about 5 minutes with my GPU installed. I began testing things and removed my GPU, and was able to install windows on the computer without trouble. I then tried switching out power supplies, but the problem persisted. I had a friend test the GPU on his computer and it worked fine. Lastly, I tried removing everything from the case and booting again, and the problem persisted. At this point I suspect it is either a motherboard or CPU issue, but as I'm an amateur, I really am at a loss on how to test for which is the problem.
My specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
Heatsink: Arctic Cooling UCACO-AP11301-BUA01 Fluid Dynamic Bearing CPU Cooler
Mobo: ASRock B75M-DGS R2.0 Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
GPU:MSI Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB Video Card
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
HD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
PSU: I was using a Coolmax 700W but switched to a Corsair CX600
