Just recently, I've been getting a ton of BSODs and random blackouts especially when gaming. This also occurred while surfing the net or watching youtube vids. It was only after I installed a new video card, R9 280X, that this started happening. Thinking maybe I didn't have enough power intially (Antec 520watt bronze cert), I went and bought a Corsair bronze cert 750w power supply. Still got the same results...after fuming about spending the money on the video card (paid 200 used) and on the new power supply, I decided to try my brother's GTX 750 ti in my system. No progress as BSOD/blackouts still occurring...The only thing I need to test now is my memory sticks but would appreciate if someone had any other suggestions. Could it be the motherboard going bad or hard drive? I did do a prime95 test today for 5 hours and my cpu seemed to be fine...temps only got up to about 50 degrees.
