Hey everyone, so my computer was built a few months ago by myself. It has a Gigabyte Gaming 7 Mobo, 16gb of DDR4 Ram, an Intel i7 6700K overclocked to 4.5ghz at 1.3v running at 30 degrees. I am running 2 AMD RX 480's from MSI, and I have a soundblaster ZX sound card. The OS is on a samsung 120gb SSD, and most of my games are on a WB Black 2tb HDD all of this powered by a 750w 80+Platinum EVGA PSU.
The computer has been mostly trouble free for the past few months, the second GPU has been in for about a week, as well as the sound card. I got my first BSOD before installing those two, and it was somewhat common. I then de-clocked the CPU and let the Gigabyte BIOS do auto-overclocking and voltage, thinking maybe I 'lost' the silicone lottery and got a chip that cant be pushed too hard. The Bios thinks that 4.3ghz is good, and after letting the BIOS do its own thing, my BSOD frequency dropped dramatically.
Everything was fine, I was able to get a 3dMark Firestrike score of 14,000 and I was happy.I was able to run OBS to stream myself playing GTA V At max settings, H1Z1, you name it. Until last night when my friends were streaming, I was going to jump into Battlefield 1 to play with them. Then Origin required an update, half way through that update I got a BSOD.
Since that, I havent been able to login for more than few minutes without a blue screen. It will sometimes boot, I hear the MOBO speaker I installed beep, then blue screen, or it will let me login, open a program or two, then blue screen. So it is inconsistent. the message it gives me also seems to change. I wrote them down at home, but I am at work now and I will get you the messages when I get home.
So far to rectify this, I have ensured all drivers, windows and GPU are up to date. I have gone back into the case to make sure the GPU and Sound Cards are seated properly. I also took an air blaster to it to get rid of any loose dust or anything else. I am planning on checking all power connections and maybe reseat the RAM? This kind of thing is usually hardware related, but everything seems fine. Any suggestions? Thanks everyone!!!
Edit: I should also state, this computer is done almost entirely for school work, gaming, and streaming. I havent so much as looked at a Torrent or porn with this thing. I baby this computer lol.
