Hello everyone,
I built my system about a year or so ago (I'll post specs below) . Recently I have started having BSOD crashes and sometimes even going into the BIOS the system would lock up.
Nothing in particular seems to be causing the crashes. I pulled out 1 stick of RAM and it was all good for about a week so my first thought was a bad stick of RAM, it then started to BSOD crash again. I put the second stick back in and ran memtest, prime95, and crystal disk and all came up fine (97% "good" rating on crystal disk, 4 passes of memtest 0 errors, and about an hour of a prime95 blend test. CPU never went above 75C)
so far the system has been good for a few days. My next line of thinking would be the PSU as it was purchased in 2011 (corsair HX850) Could the PSU be the issue? maybe the MOBO is problem? I'll continue to use it and see if I start to get BSOD crashes again. Any thoughts on what could potentially be the issue?
Thanks,
P.S the system has never been overclocked and is only used for browsing and gaming. All parts were purchased new.
