I have had my system coming up 5 years and for the games I play its done well! Though I am looking to upgrade at the end of the year, I need this one to last until then! However, I am having persistent crashes and im not quite sure what it is.

The system started as a de-lidded 3570k clocked to 4.7ghz on water, with 8gb Avexir DDR3 2666 (clocked at 2600) on a Gigabyte Z77-UD5H. At a later date I added 8gb more of Avexir but this time DDR3 2400 so I clocked the 2666 down to 2400 too. When these issues started to occur I thought I may have killed the CPU having it clocked so high for so long.

so, here are what ive done so far...

Replacd 3570k with 3770k and clocked to 4.8GHz, NG
removed overclock, NG
Reduced RAM speed from 2400 to 1600, NG
tried removing the original ram and running on the newer ram, NG
removed the newer ram and ran on the older ram, NG
switched the ram socked, NG
removed all ram and replaced with the mrs DDR3, NG
Increased RAM voltage, NG

so, any ideas what I can try? the PC still does what I need it too at the moment (when it works). All BSOD's pointed to RAM! id appreciate any help you can give, thanks :)

P.S. the PSU is a Corsair TX850 and the GPU is a 1070FE.

Cheers!
 
Unfortunately due to its age this would be quite difficult, I don’t have a motherboard that can support the CPU. As for the PSU I can give that a go, though I am in line with thinking the motherboard.

Anyone any other advice in the mean time? :)

I also forgot to mention that the system ran unaltered for all those years whilst being overclocked. Just maintenance to the cooling loop and GPU upgrades along the way.
 
can you upload a couple of the minidump files from c:\windows\minidump so we can see if there is anything common between crashes?
