Symptoms
---------------------------------------
BSOD/Crashing, over the course of a year it has gotten worse. Before it was only occasionally under load, and it crashes anytime from just loading up the bios to just logging in and opening notepad.
I managed to record two errors on a notepad, can't get to them, and If I had to guess, it will just be a generic BSOD error code seeing how it is not a software issue. Additionally, my computer has never actually "blue screened", it just shuts off. My computer is a custom build, just over three year in age.
What I have Done
----------------------------------------
- Re installed OS
- Changed out hard drives
- Tried Ram one by One
- Ram test for a couple hours
- Taken GPU out
- RMA'd Power supply and GPU
- Monitored Heat to see if it is overheating
As of now I am going to try resetting the board to default settings, I had upgraded the firmware at one point. As of now, I am stuck between it being the CPU, Motherboard and Ram. I personally do not think it is the cpu or ram.
Cpu: I3-540
Motherboard: TH55 HD Biostar
Gpu: 550 gtx Ti
Ram - Kingston 2G x2, 4G 1x
Powersupply = 550W antec
Hard Drive = Really old but have tried another one, though old as well
Windows 7
