Hello
So I was having trouble playing games on my PC as they kept freezing and I'd get the odd BSoD. I did some troubleshooting and google-fu and it leaned towards a shot HD. It was old so I bit the bullet and bought a new one. That one died within 3 months. So I returned it and bought another but different brand. This one seems happy but I kept getting random BSoD's.
I decided to check the RAM. Memtest86 detected one stick (8G of 16G) was faulty so I took that one out. So far so good.
Then it started happening again so some google-fu suggested the PSU could be going and try swap the rails the disk is on. Seemed better with no BSoD.
So I fired up Skyrim SE and got to play for 20 mins then BSoD with 0xc0000022 code. I did some tests after scouring the web and they reported no issues
After trying multiple things I tried unplugging my second monitor and firing up Skyrim again and it runs perfect.
What could be wrong here? All my temps are good. New HD, tried newer stick of RAM, PSU is 4 years old, GFX card 2 years old and not often under heavy load and nothing on my machine is overclocked.
Any ideas, anyone? Would I be right in saying the PSU needs replacing?
Win 10 64
Gigabyte Z77 DS3H
Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.20GHz
