Hi. I was wondering if someone could help me with a bluescreen problem. Here is some pictures of the recently bluescreens.

Hello... All my experience with BSOD is due to a Hardware communication, interrupting between the MB and Windows.
1) Make sure you have no un-happy hardware drivers in your "Device Manager"... No Yellow or Red icon indicators
2) Clean all card/stick edges with rubbing alcohol... And Re-insert cards.
3) Inspect and clean all DATA and Power connections... to your Hardware and MB.
4) Verify all devices CPU/GPU/MB temperatures are with in Normal operating temperatures.
5) Verify your Power Supply 12Vdc has enough current , To operate your Video Card and CPU, at the Performance setting you are using.
6) Test One Part at a time in a known Good Computer.

Are you over clocking. Drivers being pointed to make me thing you are overheating. What are you CPU and GPU temperatures. When do these BSOD occur? please list your system specs too.

Hi. My temperatures are good. Something is wrong with my custom CPU fan and even though it desont automatically run the cpu will be at max 60C. The bluescreen is all random and I have alot of GPU driver failure even though I have the latest GPU drivers and so on.

Are you over clocking your CPU? I ask because it may be a voltage issue. From your screenshot, your blue screens are very staggered, not limited to GPU.

Hi. No yellow/red icon indicators. I can try to clean the card/sticks. I'm very sure every cable is good connected. I'm pretty sure all temperatures are good, gonna check with hardware monitor now to be 100% sure. I have a 550w PSU running i5 750 and gtx 660 and two HDD's, don't really think I need more watt. The bluescreen is very random and deson't occur all the time. Mabye 1-2 one day, the next day no bluescreen. THOUGH, when i'm playing CSGO my game freeze 2-4 times during a competive match and I have to ALT+DELETE and then tab back to the game to get it to work. (Sometimes even the GPU driver crash).

I had overclocked my CPU, but I'm pretty sure it was very stable and don't really think that was the problem. I removed the overclock a few days ago to test but yet I get bluescreens with standard clocks.

may just be your power supply dying then. Which brand 550watt is it? how old?

Yeah, its atleast 5 years old. Anyway, shouldn't it stop working permanent if it was broken from age?

Hello... Your 12VDC voltage is reading Low... Capacitors wear out slowly and sometimes they Rupture/balloon... they act like a Battery to hold reserve power and keep voltage levels stable... components/hardware/electronics have a + or - operating range... your +12 vdc is your Main work horse for Video cards and CPU power.

Above poster is correct, as PSUs age, they become less effective. Especially one that is made from cheap components like liquid filled capacitors. So it wouldn't just instantly stop working (though that happens sometimes too) it will become less productive over time.

Id venture to guess the PSU is your problem

also check voltage via BIOS to confirm low reading from HWmonitor

Hello... if your a curious person... remove your PS and open up the cover to it... and give it a good cleaning and inspect the CAPS in it... give a look over or post a pic of it.

PS? Power Supply? :)  anyway, I did a full clean and installed windows 8.1 and I think the problem with CSGO is my SSD. Usually had it on my HDD and it was problem free so i'm gonna try that. I'll see if I get time to open the PSU and mabye check it out. Anyway, thanks for the help so far all :) 

EDIT: I'm just curious. How did you find out that my 12v caps were low? Is it because the gyazo picture I sent it says only max 10.120 V beside the +12V? :)  :) 
edit2: The problem weren't which drive the game was on unfortunally. :(

The voltage on ur screenshot shows it. Doesn't specifically mean capacitors are bad. Could be many components in the power supply failing. Voltage is way too low to keep thethe computer stable. I'd replace asap before it potentially damages ur new hardware

the only way you could definitively know is by testing your power supply with a multi-meter. That said, you may consider just getting another power supply and see if it fixes the issue. If not, return it.

BIOS is reporting voltage on full load. Could be the reason voltages are back in normal range.

Hello... Yes, there is Some discussions about the accuracy of software measurements and thus a Multi-meter will be used to verify... if you can rent/borrow or buy one, You will have a EXACT answer to this possibility, ( I own three as Professional Maintenance person ).
What happens with Batteries and Power Supplies is a term called Open Circuit ( un-loaded ) and Loaded measurements. When you are in your BIO's, It is very close to a UN-LOADED condition when compared to a Gaming situation... As Current demands are greater on the PS, the amount of Voltage Drop indicates either the PS is under rated for the Current Demands of the System, or that the PS Parts are no longer able to keep up with the Current Demand.

I'm always concerned with the 12Vdc current, from the Power Supply, the Power the GPU Needs to Display all the Extra EYE Candy... A simple test of drivers and software is to Lower your Display Settings for that game, and see if it runs without a crash.

Also alot of other Software you are running on a machine can interfere with each other Too.

So when I see a BSOD messages, I Post/List the things that have got the problem solved for me and the others I help. BSOD are tuff problems too solve... and sometimes takes all those steps I listed to get rid of them... Sometimes it can be simple fix by a BIO Setting/Driver/Software Removal/Preference Settings.

TO PROVE it is the Hardware means installing a Fresh WIN 7 SP1 RAW ISO ( NO UPDATES ) install on a spare Hardrive with just Device Drivers will verify this... If you Blue screen with this , your hardware has a problem communicating with the MB. http://www.w7forums.com/threads/official-windows-7-sp1-...

Another way is to test your hardware in another Good machine.
