I recently built a new P.C, but I've been getting random blue screens.
THE PROBLEM:
Random BSOD's (Whea_Uncorrectable_Error), over a large random period of time. Sometimes it is fine for 3-4 hours, sometimes it is fine for the whole day. Mostly seems to BSOD while I am playing CS:GO on maxed settings.
WHAT I'VE TRIED:
I've tested the following to see if it was the cause:
- Hard drive by switching it out with another, it still BSOD's. (BSOD)
- PSU by replacing my old PSU with a new one (850W). (BSOD)
- CPU *Thermal Paste* by cleaning off the old spread of thermal paste and applying a new one. (BSOD)
I'm currently testing each individual stick of ram by unplugging one and running my PC normally for a couple of hours and seeing if it will BSOD.
SPECS:
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K @ 3.40GHz
RAM: 8.00GB Dual Channel DDR3 Corsair Vengeance
Motherboard: ASUS Z87-A (Socket 1150)
Graphics: 1023MB Nvidia Gefore GTX 460, (Two Monitors)
Storage: 1397 GB HDD, 238GB SSD
SPECIAL NOTES:
It BSOD'd once while I had my GPU unplugged and was running onboard graphics.
I've ran memtest86 for one run and my RAM was reported fine.
My CPU idles at 28 Celsius, and my GPU idles at 46 Celsius.
When gaming, my CPU hovers around 47 Celsius, and my GPU hovers around 64 Celsius.
Do any of you tech wizards have a hunch to what might be causing my problem? It's extremely annoying have to deal with random blue screens.
Thanks for the help!
