Lately i start to get those unexpected blue screen so i tried to list the things that has changed since it all start and hope you guys could point on what is the most likely to cause this error.

1. Intel extreme tuning utility. Basically i only install it since it was on MSI live update and i wanted the check it out but i didnt OC with that. but still, when i install it, it came with some intel driver that cause a warring before installation. and im not sure its gone after i deleted the software.

2. BIOS update with MSI live update through the win.

3. 2 new fans that connected on the motherboard and 2 stock that connected to the case fan controller.

also i mostly/only (not sure) get the blue screen when im watching 10+ minutes video on youtube :p

If its just when watching youtube.. could be Adobe Flash

I went through a phase where my machine crashed when watching flash videos.. Turned out it was Adobe flash player.. after they updated my crashes stopped..
So if it really is " mostly/only (not sure) get the blue screen when im watching 10+ minutes video on youtube" then it may be worth valudating that..

Cheers
P.S.. for me - it crashed only in IE.. when I watched in FF it was ok.. but after Flash update - I can watch now in either and no crash.

P.P.S for me it was a "horrible" crash.. so bad it even reset my BIOS (my machine is overclocked)..

Sounds to me like something is getting too hot... What are you temperatures? What's yo hardware setup? A piece of software (Adobe Flash for example) should never cause a blue screen in a properly set up system...
 


We know that.. but unfortunately - the reality is that software can and does cause issues.
I should have said to OP.. if it a REAL Blue screen - you should get an error code with dumps etc which you can analyse and give you a clue where your error is...
For me.. my crash was so bad.. it was no blue screen.. it just crashed and restarted and 30% of time it would have reset BIOS (Something else that should not be possible from "software issue"... but it really happened).
