Having trouble with the old BSOD. Sometimes it doesnt happen for hours but I can be just browing the web, or gaming then my system will freeze and BSOD. I've been trying to eliminate components to find the cause.

I brought a Samsung F3 spinpoint the other month as my PC was getting pretty slow and it seems since I have - even tho the system is quicker, i've been getting these freezes. I've ran Crystal Disk Info and it says health status is good, everything is blue, so does that mean the hard drive is fine?

My system spec is:
PSU: Coolermaster 620W Silent
GFX: 250GTS
CPU: FX55
MB: DFI Lan Party
Ram: OCZ Platinum

I've formatted the hard drive many times, got the latest drivers for my graphics, any help would be appriciated.

Thanks
 
It depends on a number of things.

At first glance I would say your computer could be overheating. Do you have a good airflow inside the case? If there is nowhere for the air to escape it simply gets built up inside causing the ambient temperature to rise and in turn making everything inside really hot.

Also, did you happen to catch the error message that is displayed every time you get the BSOD?
 
Do you have the latest nvidia drivers? I only say this as the newest ones kept giving me BSOD and since rolling back ive never had the issue since.....just a thought.

Anything with Flash or Game related on the newest driver (275.33) made my GTX 470 squeal and crash the system.....drove me mad thinking it was an unstable overclock or faulty part, turned out Nvidias latest drivers didnt like my PC.
 
Computer is nice and cool. CPU 34 oc, gfx at 45oc. I had to format the hard drive last week as it wouldn't let me in windows without BSOD. Maybe this is because I had to keep holding in the power button to turn the system off because of the freezes, but this is what I got:

Check your hard drive config, check for updated drivers Run CHKDSK /f to check Hard drive corruption.

Technical Infomation:
STOP: 0x00000024 (0x001y
 
If you go on Nvidias driver section and click on the section below that says "BETA Drivers and archive" and select the 270.65 driver....download it and do a clean install.

Also on your PC go to Device manager, and go to sound controllers and disable the Nvidia HD Audio (usually 4 of them) they interfere with your on board sound and can crash your system with flash and gaming.

Bet you thats what is causing it.

Legend. Thank you very much sir. So far everything is good (touch wood).
 
no worries me old china.....let me know how you get on......really annoys me that these Card manufacturers send out drivers that are clearly bugged......I was getting BSOD all the time with those rubbish 275.33 drivers......since rolling back not one. Hope yours is the same.
