Hi all.
At breaking point at the moment
Recently my PC started to BSOD often, so I figured as I had faffed about with many revisions of the ATI driver to get Mantle working, a full rebuild would do. Windows 7 was installed, but even in a vanilla state, the BSOD kept happening.
So far I have:
Ran Memtest86, memory passed
Swapped out my Radeon 7870 for an old working 4890
Changed boot SSD to an alternative SSD
Loading Optimized defaults in BIOS
Loading Failsafe defaults in BIOD
I considered overheating, but this can happen with the CPU at 38C.
The symptoms are odd. Sometimes screen corruption, others during a BSOD I only get partial errors, so there is no full complete dump
If I do manage to get into Windows, and try to 'Shutdown', the machine says shutting down, then turns straight off, which I've not seen before.
The only thing I can see thats strange from before, is in HWMonitor (which I know is not 100% accurate, but used to be reliable for me) is showing VIN5 going from 1.8 to 2.7.
Specs below:
AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE
Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P
8GB Samsung DDR3
Samsung EVO 250GB SSD (Boot drive)
SuperFlower 80+ 750 PSU
I work in IT, but am stuck at the moment
