I have a problem. Occasionally my computer is either locking up of I get the blue screen of death. I've done some overclocking but with this latest problem, I have dialed the OC back to low levels without success. Is this a hard drive issue?

 

My computer is:

 

 

ASUS P8Z68-V Pro/Gen3 Motherboard

 

i5 2500K 3.3 GHz 6MB Cache LGA1155 95W

 

 

EVGA GeForce GTX560Ti S/N 1210611561004897

 

Memory: G Skill Ripjaws Series F3-12 800 CL9D-8GBRL DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 1.5V

 

FSP Aurum Pro Series Model# AU-850PRO

No repetitive beeping. Tonight I am poised to get the error code and it won't fail. I've backed up what I need to back up. Go figure. When you are ready for it to do it's thing, it won't. I am persistant. When this happens again, I WILL get the details. Stay tuned.

I found the directory but notepad displays characters I can't read. Is there a converter?

 

File names of the last several dumps are:

121112-47658-01

121112-47361-01

121012-48235-01

121012-45037-01

120812-48703-01

 

Does this help?

Wouldn't you know it. Camera standing by but last night it wouldn't do it. Thanks for sticking with me. It should crash this weekend since I will be on the computer more.

Eliminate the HD (and the OS) , and test the RAM with a stand alone memory tester,

 

ie memtest86+ http://www.memtest.org/

 

Check CPU and Graphics GPU temperatures .. may be Overheating.

( Blow away any dust etc, collected on cooling Fins )

 

 

 

If all else fails, make sure nobody has installed the following PC game :rolleyes:

Computer is not overheating. I've run tests on temps while under loads I typically use. Good idea to run the memory test. I'll report back.

why didn't you just run the minidumps through Blue Screen View man?

anyway, that's a hardware error. Could be anything really.

 

When you say "I have dialed the OC back to low levels" does that mean stock clocks or no OC at all?
