Hi,
I built a computer recently. These are the specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4570 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: ASRock Z87M Extreme4 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 500GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 270 2GB Video Card
Case: Cooler Master N200 MicroATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair Builder 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Optical Drive: LG GH24NSB0 DVD/CD Writer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (OEM) (64-bit)
Monitor: Acer H236HLbid 60Hz 23.0" Monitor
Wireless Network Adapter: Rosewill RNX-N150HG 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Wi-Fi Adapter
Maybe every 10 or 15th time I turn on my machine I get a windows error about encountering an error and needing to reboot. It then restarts and everything works fine. And yesterday for the first time (maybe second in 4 weeks since I've had this machine) my machine crashes - screen turns jagged, freezes, and I have to reboot with ctrl-alt-delete. I know this isn't enough for you all to diagnose, but how would I go about diagnosing the issue? One BSOD/crash seems acceptable, but it's happened about 2-3x per week and so something clearly must be off.
What error logs or other info should I be looking at? Is there a FAQ on troubleshooting I can find somewhere that will help me diagnose this? Common issues? The only thing that jumps to mind is the beta drivers I'm using for my wireless adapter since there aren't supported ones out yet for 8.1.
Anyways, general direction towards how to figure out the problem would be helpful - thanks!
