Alright i just got done building my new PC about 1 1/2 weeks ago... and the past couple of days, my computer has been crashing to a blue screen after about 1 minute or less of gaming.... I thought it might be the drivers at first so i updated the video drivers and it still is happening. So i thought it might be the heat, i downloaded SpeedFan, and my GPU is running at around 50C at idle and 60C under load..... that's with the GPU Fan set at 70% instead of the standard 40%...

Here's what the Blue screen says:

Driver_IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equal

Memory Dump %

then crashes before i can read the rest



Also here's what windows says about the problem when the PC comes back up:

run memtest (www.memtest.org) to test your memory

run prime95 (www.mersenne.org) to 'torture' test your CPU (this will push temps quite high, so you may want to monitor these)

run ATITool (google it) with the scan for artifacts option to test your graphics card.

I'm guessing, sice the problem is with gaming, your PC will fail at some point on one of these tests.

te results will help (and system specs^^)

It's likely your memory though it could be the motherboard or PSU.

Passing Memtest is no guarantee. I swapped out my OCZ with Kingston and my BSOD's went away despite Memtest having been run for 24 hours.

I got it downloaded and same results...

Also someone brought to my attention, does it matter which direction the fan on the CPU heat sink faces? Mine is facing back towards the back of the case, while i see a lot of others face towards the front...
