I recently built a new computer and after setting everything up, I overclocked my CPU, GPU, and set my RAM to 3200mHz (via XMP). I was getting repeated BSoD and after much frustration, I got rid of both OCs, yet was STILL getting the issue. I then reinstalled windows completely, and after an hour of gaming, got it yet again.
I was thinking the OC was the issue but now I feel like it has to be hardware, no? Also, I kept the RAM at 3200 via XMP, that shouldn't be a problem since that is what I bought, right? Do I have to return my GPU, RAM, CPU (got them all very recently)? Idk who is the culprit!
