Hi all, I hope you can help me. I recently got a new system which my friend and myself built. Things were ok for about 24 hours until the dreaded BSOD reared its ugly head. Thought it might be bad graphics drivers at first, so I uninstalled the NVidea drivers (for the GTX 750 ti) and also removed one of the two memory sticks and just used one to see if it was a memory issue. Spent all last night wastching things fine. Today i swapped out the stick for another one and it BSOD, although this might be as coincidence seeing as my memory is pretty darn new and was working flawlessly in my old system . All help will be much appreciated as I spent a fair bit of money on this new setup :) Thanks in advance.

Hi, sorry for not posting. I thought Id leave it running for a few days and.... no blue screens for the last 48 hours or so!

So, I did all of the above prior to installing the new psu and still the problem remained (It let me do the chkdsk and BSOD'd later on)

When my new PSU finally arrived we installed it and initially had some boot errors, so after some tinkering and resetting the BIOS using the little bridge thing on the motherboard (technical terms, I know) we got into Windows. We ran 3D Mark successfully but shortly after it BSOD. As a final effort my friend went into BIOS to check power settings. The MOBO was set to several weird power saving modes which seemed completely unnecessary (which ones exactly Im unsure as Id left...

Hi, sorry for late reply, I have been pretty busy. Just a quick update to say everything is working fine and Ive had no blue screens since my last post :) Its strange to think that power was the problem after all the fixes we tried, but hey Im not going to argue. However I am a bit confused as to why a high (ish) end mobo that is clearly geared towards building a more powerful system would have such power saving features enabled by default, and for them not to explain why. Meh.

Thanks again for your support, I hope this helps others in the future as Im sure even Kemical has learned something new from this strange situation ;)
