Hi everyone,

 

I've recently bought an overclocked bundle from a company that assures me that everything went through vigourous testing before it was sent, yet I keep getting blue screens when playing games. These can happen anywhere between an hour to 4 hours of gaming. the timing is random and goes across all games.

 

I've updated all drivers, used the memOK provided on the motherboard and run short stress tests on the hardware using a utilty from the asus website. I've also checked the Hard drives and used the disc utility checks. All of these came back fine. I've not tried a memtest yet or anything like HotCPU.

 

It might be worth noting that I couldn't do a fresh install of windows as I don't have a disc and I'm not sure whether it'll let me use my product key again. I did, however, remove all updates and windows features and reinstalled these. I also found some of the gigabyte files still in the computer, but didn't feel confident enough on regedit to remove these.

 

I'm relatively new to this so any help would be much appreciated

If Win7 Pro is a retail version, you can activate without issues, an oem, may ask you to free phone microsoft just to validate, no big issue there.

Would do a clean install with latest drivers just to prove you old build isn't causing the issue and then use Prime95, OCCT or Intels Burn In test to verify hardware ok and not falling over due to heat stress.
