Hello,
I pretty much rebuilt my entire rig quite a while ago (about a year and a half), and everything was going well up until 2-3 weeks ago.
I got a GSOD while playing a game and have since been getting them fairly regularly. They will appear to be random because sometimes I can play for hours without the computer crashing and sometimes I will get one literally 5 seconds into the game.
Recently, I have also started getting GSODs or black screens using even simpler applications (like playing Hearthstone) or browsing on Firefox, so it doesn't seem to be performance-related.
I am running on default settings for everything and monitored temperatures and they seem to be mostly normal (sometimes it'll go near 80 degrees, but it's usually lower than 70, and between 40-50 when idle).
I have already ran memtest and it doesn't seem to be the RAM. I have also uninstalled and re-installed the latest catalyst drivers several times, to no avail (although I am tempted to try and rollback to older drivers, because the issues seems to have started shortly after I upgraded, but it could be my bad memory that's playing tricks on me).
Here's a rundown of my setup (from memory, I could be off but will check tonight if need be):
CPU: i5-3570K
MOBO: Asus P8Z77-V LX
GPU: Asus HD 7870 DirectCUII 2GB
RAM: 2x 4GB DDR3 HyperX
PSU: Cooler Master GX 650W (bronze?)
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64
Any help would be greatly appreciated... Like I said, everything used to work fine and now I can't even play a competitive game, out of fear of just crashing all the time : /
