user wroteYou are bsoding under stress, not under completely idle or random circumstances right? That signals a power/temperature problem. But most likely a power problem, your power supply is not able to feed the computer anymore and so an underpowered component crashes causing the bsod.
And yes despite that your pc was fine a week ago, this can start happening, sometimes power supplies(especially if cheap non branded ones) start to fail.
Give us your entire system specs maybe we can better know what we are dealing with. Also, any crash dump files would help.
no crashes whatsoever in 10 hour stress tests and online games since i downclocked to 4.4 Ghz 4 days ago, so i am 99% sure its my PSU starting to degrade and give me less power then advertised. and i occasionally used to BSOD at idle, but 90% of BSODs were under stress. PC specs:
-MSI Z97S SLI KRAIT edition motherboard
-i5 4690k OCed to 4.4Ghz at 1.25v
-Kingston HyperX Fury White 16 GB RAM
-MSI Geforce GTX 970 Gaming 4G
-Thermaltake 630w smart SE 87% power supply (not bronze certified)
i am positive it is not a temperature problem as i have a pretty good cooling configuration and i always monitor temps.
Getting the FSP Aurum Pro 750w Gold , what do you think about this one?
