As the title indicates, I'm not really sure if my problem is actually hardware or not, but this seems like the most appropriate place to post it. Since I did a clean install of the OS, I've had several instances where the monitor's screen momentarily went black, and upon recovery Windows popped...
Lately I've been getting BSODs but not while gaming or stress testing my computer. It's seemingly at random and has happened twice today while simply doing things in Firefox (First was registering new Logitech gear on their website, second was another website I dont recall which one.) The...
I am running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit with an XFX AMD Radeon HD 6870 video card. My version of the Catalyst driver is 2013.0328.2218.38225, which I believe is the latest-greatest-up-to-datest one. All Windows updates have been applied.
Every so often - once a day or more - I'll get a popup telling...

Hi,
I recently had a new computer built (completely new to the process) and started it up. It was running just fine, for 15-20 minutes, but then I started getting repeated BSOD error messages with minimal activity. Seeing as how the computer is brand new I've only installed a video card driver...

Over the past week or so, my computer has been giving me big problems. I reinstalled windows 7 a few times, always thinking I fixed the problem. Then, I read online that it was because of my video card driver, so I updated that and the crashing stopped.
Until today, where it's happened quite...
