*ram is actually the low profile version
(Sorry about the prices and all that jazz, I'm new to this website.)
Anyway, everything went well, installed drivers (chipset, audio, lan, usb 3, sata 3, gpu, wireless adapter) and had no problems. However, Google Chrome began to crash a week or two after the build. The whole window would close, so I did a re-install. That seemed to fix the problem, but I would still get the occasional page crash (other tabs would be unaffected.)
A few minutes ago I got a blue screen when closing Chrome. The computer booted back up just fine, and I'm using it with Chrome now. Any idea what's going on?
Temps are fine (~30 idle/using chrome) and gaming performance seems like it's the way it should be. I'm hoping it's not a hardware related issue, I really don't want to go through an RMA and have to gut my PC.
I'm running Microsoft Security Essentials, Windows Firewall, and did a full scan with Malwarebytes Antimalware, which came out clean. I also ran TDSSKiller (as per suggestion of a youtube video with a similar problem), but it didn't find anything. I havn't OC'd yet either.
Here's the wifi adapter I'm using. the wifi adapter I'm using.
Hopefully you guys could help.
