So I built my computer a few months back and ever since then it would BSOD while gaming or doing various things at once such as watching streams, listening to music, and running Eclipse. At first I thought it was my GPU driver so I completely wiped all the old drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller and reinstalled the drivers again (I ran them as administrator). The BSOD still continued to occur so I decided to check the ram next. I removed my ram and installed my older ram sticks and the BSOD still did not go away.
I figured that I would test the CPU next so I got Prime95 and ran it. As soon as I ran it my computer BSOD, so I'm thinking that my problem can be from a faulty cpu. I decided to see what my PC is considering to be the cause of the BSOD so I got BlueScreenView and it shows hal.dll as the driver that is causing my problem. I'm wondering if anyone has any idea how to fix this problem or at least help me get down to what is exactly causing this?
UPDATE: I should also add that I'm not overclocking anything and all my settings in the BIOS are on automatic.
