I am getting a lot of BSOD, it can happen when playing any game or just when I am browsing the net. I can use the pc all day and nothing happens or it can be switched on for minutes. Its happened ever since I bought a overclocked bundle and a new graphics card.


The bundel I bought is Krypton Black OPS Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz @ 4.20GHz Original Edition Overclocked Bundle and MSI GeForce GTX 470 Twin Frozr II 1280MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card.

Core temps are fine with a low of 37 to a high of 60 whilst gaming.


So how do I get to the bottom of these crashes?
 
disable automatic restarts in windows (google it its easy) then when you get a crash it wont reboot straight away, giving you time to note the error code associated, once youve written it down reset machine and then google the code, should give you some info on cause and solution
 
Use the program "WhoCrashed" after getting a BSOD and then google the relevant info it gives you. Amazing program, analyzes the crash dump file and gives a load of useful info that helps solve a problem. Helped me with my random crashes which turned out to be Zone Alarm....
