Some time ago my PC wouldn't boot anymore. Well, actually, it would, but it would reboot 2 minutes after. And again. And again. I sent my PC back to the company where I bought it and they put in a new mobo and new RAM sticks. At first I thought my PC was working again, but then I got a BSOD. And then my PC kept crashing. They sent me a new HDD because it could be a software problem. I put in the new HDD and installed Windows.

I still get Blue Screens, so it must be a hardware problem. What could it be? PSU? CPU?

It could be a number of problems, download a program called bluescreenview and post the dump files on here for one of the experts to look at, they will certainly need more information.

Go to, administrative tools > event viewer and looks for any errors under the application section on the left panel. That should give you more info on what has occurred.
If your RAM is seated correctly and your bios is up to date, I would guess it's the PSU. Is the PSU big enough to support your other components.

As for the CPU, do a quick check to make sure it's not hot as being very hot could be a sign of a problem. Lift it up and check if there's thermal paste being used also.

Hope this helps :)

Before I changed the HDD I downloaded that program. All crashes were caused by Windows files. That's when I replaced the HDD. Now, there are no dump files anymore. I do get a BSOD, but no dump files.
