I'm running Windows 8.1 as a media center and TV computer with a side job of light gaming.
I've been getting blue screen Memory Management errors causing the computer to restart when I try to open high draw programs, primarily games and game engines. The computer had performed flawlessly for almost a year until now. The only recent change has been adding a graphics card, but that was over a month ago.
Hardware:
Motherboard: ASRock FM2A88X Extreme 6+
Power supply: EVGA Supernova 650 G2
Processor: AMD A4-7300
Graphics Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 950 SC+
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster Z
Old RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 2x4GB
New RAM: Crucial Ballistix Tactical Low Profile 2x4GB
I just installed the new RAM tonight and tried to launch a game from Steam and got the blue screen again. While I was waiting for my new RAM to arrive I tried ever possible combination of single and dual ram in all 4 slots on the MB with my old ram. Nothing helped.
Question is, could it be the graphics card? Hard drive too full? And hopefully not, but could it be my motherboard?
The computer will run media center fine most of the time with an occasional random blue screen, but again, as soon as I try to launch a game it crashes
