I get random blue screens of death, quite frequently actually. All the time I have to repair my games (verifying integrity of cache files) And it's all getting a bit annoying. Anyone know what's going on?

Could be the hdd failing, could be mobo related, could just be malware. Did smart go off? What are your specs? Did you scan? Use bluescreenview and post a screenshot of it.

My specs are:

i5 4690k
NVIDIA EVGA GTX 770 SC w/ ACX Cooling
Asrock Z97 Gaming 3
8gb Kingston HyperX Red RAM
Kingston V300 120gb SSD
Just a 1tb Seagate HDD
Corsair CX 650 PSU
Corsair H80i Liquid Cooler.

I'm at school, so I'll install bluescreenview later.

If you overclock, reset to factory specs. You may also want to run memtest+. A bad stick of memory can cause these symptons too.

I'm sorry, I meant the 4690. I don't have it over clocked. As for the memtest, I cant actually see my windows boot up, it just goes straight into Windows 7. Therefore I can't run the memtest, or even get into the bios. Is there a memtest I can run on the desktop?

Memtest runs in a pre-windows environment. I don't know of any motherboard that doesn't allow you to select the boot order. Odd that you can't get yours to do so.

Thanks guys, It was a faulty stick of ram. I didn't use memtest86 but the HSI memtest or whatever it was called.
