Hi, I built my computer last year and I have been having problems with BSOD since i made a few upgrades. I am trying hard to pinpoint the problem but I cannot find it. My current and former computer specs would be as follow:

Former:
Windows 7 home premium edition
intel i5 2500k 3.00ghz @ 4 cores
ASUS P8Z77-V LX LGA 1155 Intel Z77
ASUS 1gb gtx 650ti
4x2 generic ram 1300mhz
Corsair Enthusiast Series 850w 80 plus bronze

Current:
Windows 7 home premium edition
Intel i5 3570k 3.4ghz @ 4 cores
ASUS P8Z77-V LX LGA 1155 Intel Z77
Gigabyte geforce gtx 760 2gb with windforce
Corsair Vengeance (2x4gb) DDR3 1600mhz
Corsair Enthusiast Series 850w 80 plus bronze

I did a fresh install and updated all my bios and software. Problems started when I installed my new graphic card. Even with the latest drivers, BSOD happens almost every 2 hours. I tried replacing my GPU with a new but same card and BSOD still happens. I tried putting back my generic memory card but did not fix the problem. From the last BSOD report, it stated that there might be some software problems. Can anybody assist me on this? I spent a lot of money to build my PC but I am a newbie as well. Thank you!

This just in. Hope you guys can help!

clean/fresh install os usually clean out software error, i suspect more the hardware side...

have u tried use the integrated graphic? (plug monitor into mobo back panel and disconnect/unplug the 760)
see if the bsod come back..

if it stable try run stress program like intel burn test/prime95 for an hour to see if it detected any error...


bsod can be caused by many things so need a lot of testing

I forgot to mention something very important. My current windows came from my previous computer which was an OEM version. From what I have researched, my windows might have been tied to a dell xps 8300 motherboard. I have never suspected my CPU at all. According to articles that I have read, if the CPU has any problem, the computer won't start at all which is not the case. But I might be wrong too.. I'm trying to resolve this problem as hard as I can as you can see.. I might try to do your suggestion. Is it also possible that the problem might tie to my motherboard? For a week now, I am thinking of purchasing a new mobo and probably a new version of windows 7 to see if this will fix the problem.. I don't want to spend any more money but I want to be able to fully enjoy something that I built myself.. :( Now that I think about it, my cpu was installed at the same date that I installed my GPU. I replaced my GPU twice now which cleared it out of my suspicion. I have overclocked my CPU with the OC tuner from my motherboard. I need to check if it might still be covered with the warranty. At this rate, I might send every single hardware that I purchased last month to be returned and replaced.. Another note would be, before I did the fresh install, my computer did crash and have constant BSOD and that's the reason why I did the fresh install but never got to fix the problem. You might be right that it may be a hardware problem.. wish the best for me!

what do u means by that?

my old oem comp come only with restoration/back up image disc, are the dell one came with windows installation disk? (I'm not familiar with dell)

if it came with windows install disk and u do clean install then usually it's not tied up with oem comp just need to repurchase new retail key...

if it was image disk than it could be a problem...

u can try go to safe mode and uninstall all driver so it back to generic Microsoft/windows driver, and reinstall the new driver later after reboot...
or u can buy the new os and do clean install, since u will need to repurchase the key anyways... (oem keys is tied with the oem comp/hardware)

No it did not come with any windows installation CD. i burned it myself. I did a fresh install meaning it deleted all the softwares and drivers that I have in my computer. I double checked when i went to programs under control panel so it is really a clean install. Another step I took was to dban my hard drive before the re-installation of windows so my hard drive would be clean as well. I think I mentioned somewhere that I have been receiving BSOD way before my fresh install and it was just a step I took to see if it can fix my computer. I don't want to go out and have it fix and get ripped off too. :)

A new update: Since taking out the OC of my cpu back to normal, my Blue Screen got reduced to only twice a day but I am still currently using my old generic ram. Just a question, do you also need to update your CPU? how to do it? I haven't updated it and have no idea how to since I purchased it.

I have tried using Verifier last night and it immediately crashed my system. I made the profile and followed the instruction on the website, yet I cannot tell which is having the problem. I went into safe mode to disable it because as soon as it loads windows, it immediately went BSOD. I am not even aware that such a program exist in my computer. After using the verifier, I am clueless on how to see the results of what I did, can you instruct me further or give me a link so I can pursue this better? I already have a new cpu coming in from amazon but if this won't solve the problem, the last 2 hardware that I have that have not suspected might be the mobo and psu which has been with me since I built my first computer. I heard that if I replace my mobo, i may have to purchase a new windows license and my psu is not even a year old yet..
