... when the BSOD's started presumably nothing had just changed ie hardware.
have you run memory checks, maybe try running off just native graphics to rule out the GTX (remove it)
is there a pattern to the crashes - two were 17" past the hour - anything in the event log just before ?

 

[opethdisciple]

It's your overclocking.

 

[Sean0]

No hardware changed, memtest86 passed, running native graphics is an option I have not done yet.
There's no pattern to the crashes, can crash under load or idle, nothing in event log before, just got a fresh copy
of windows 10 and installed, will see what happens.
Just updated bios to latest.
All temperatures are ok.
No overclocking.

Have you tried updating your motherboard BIOS? Can you test with another PSU?

 

[PiKe]

Can you upload the mini dumps somewhere for us to analyse?

Can you run intel burn test without it crashing?

 

[Sean0]

Bios updated.
Not got another PSU.
Intel burn test stress level maximum 10 runs ok.
Not got dumps anymore, fresh install of windows.

 

[theforce]

Well l would firstly remove the dedicated GPU and see if the problem persists when using only the i7's integrated GPU. Shame you don't have another PSU to test.

Quick update, no BSOD since I made fresh install media and reinstalled.
I can only think that the previous media used was some how corrupt, have
always used windows media creation tool, so made it off another pc I have.
Thanks for the help/suggestions.
