My pc has recently blue screened 4times the past week, everytime i have been watching a movie on vlc media player (coincidence?)
I have been playing games fine but it just BSOD 2x while trying to watch a movie within the last 3 hours

I havent installed any new hardware or software, temps all seem normal.
My pc has never been overclocked as i never got around to doing it yet.

I need to fix this asap so can people please give me a list of programs & methods to narrow this down, everythings under warranty so i dont want to damage anything by negligence :)

EDIT - went into bios changed ram profile automatic > XMP Profile 1600 - This raised ram/qpi voltage from 1.55-> 1.66 and timers from 7-7-7-7-20? to much higher ones like 8-8-8-24
I then booted and my os failed to recognise my USB mouse and it looked like i was getting dead pixels on my monitor but im guessing that was ram/os?

Restarted and it recognised my mouse but there were more dead pixels(lookalikes) and it then failed to load into os correctly


Now loaded into OS with XMP settings 8-8-8-24 as advertised for my ram so going to do a memtest 86 run now

Set xmp profile 1600 so ram was at default/correct settings and voltage

Memtest 86 passed fine with no errors.

What next? wait to see if i get another BSOD or can you give me some more stress test programs to rule out cpu/gpu/psu/mobo?
 
Just after posting above my computer froze, mouse/keyboard stopped working and screen just displayed ocuk webpage

Think it could be the graphics card? im doubtful however as i had been playing games fine and think its odd it would be crashing over browsing?
 
grrrr :@ bashing my head atm. (Not liking idea of not being able to run my ram at speed of XMP profile) tried putting voltage from 1.65 > 1.70 still failed)

I tried to boot and it would get to loading bar/os screen and then instantly restart but the power would still be cycling ie just screen flash and start loading through bios.

I was stuck in a loop for 5boots and went into bios and changed ram setting from XMP > Automatic and it then enabled me to boot

Think i could have a dodgy motherboard as memtest said my ram was fine at xmp profile setting?

I then tried prime95 blend test and ran fine for an hour without problems
