Hi again guys, well the computer is finally built! specs will be posted below, but I can't get the damn thing to run longer than 20 minutes without BSOD and it is completely random! On start up in the middle of a game, when I try to download something I have tried 5 hours to fix this now and nothing is happening. I have tried updating BIOS reinstailing Windows, reinstalling the driver software, resting my BIOS settings i changed, everything, nothing works. PLEASE HELP ME!
*EDIT* The computer is still BSODing after reinstailling drivers leaving out what I thought was making it BSOD on download. Also the computer no longer wants to run Google Chrome. It will have a wep page open but when you try to do anything 50% of the time it will close out automatically, then start back up and restore previous web page, when you go into "programs" via the task manager it says there are about 5 processes of google chrome.exe running (depends on how many times it closed out). The computer is now reacting a lot slower when I try to open or close a process. Do I need a new MB?

One thing I would start with is download something to monitor your temperatures. It's unlikely, but it's always a good place to start.

Also does the behavior continue in Safe Mode? If not, it could be a driver / software / OS issue. If it does, then it's most likely a hardware issue.

Download Memtest and run it to check your RAM. Lot's of BSODing issues like you describe are related to bad cells in RAM. Memtest has to be run for a few hours, or ideally overnight.

Try these first and let us know how you make out.

**UPDATE** I have recently bought another 8GB RAM of same model, the ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO, and replaced my HDD, blue screened on start up of windows installer, unpluged my old HDD and my old RAM, if it BSODs again the problem is my GPU, if not I will plug my RAM in after a few hours, if that makes it BSOD I will return it and get a new one. Sorry I gave up so quick guys, trying to get WildStar up and running before beta ends.
