Put my 290X in after work today, reinstalled all drivers, set up my ssd and so on.

Started to play a bit of bf4 got about an hour into the game and my computer blue screened..

What should i do? What tests should i run? I'm reading

i downloaded bluescreen viewer and getting an error of hal.dll which is related to a unstable overclock.

Now the system was stable and could run bf4 for hours without even battering an eye lid.. now all of a sudden it wont? could this be due to the change in psu?

EDIT* could it be my voltages too high now running the more powerful PSU?
 
I'm confused to how it's never been a problem before and all of a sudden it's popped up.

I'm running a stress test as we speak to see temps and stuff.

But i'm still going to reset to default and redo the oc
 
My old Psu isn't powerful enough to power the new graphics card :(

i'm just going to redo the overclock tomorrow and go from there.

EDIT**

It passed a 45 minute stress test fine. I'm reading it can also be a driver issue?

It was odd I went back on to play with y brother and played until 6 this morning without any problems. Bloody computers.

I did run a 6 hour test when I first done the overclock and it passed and max of 73 degrees that was a quick one I done last night just to check my temps and stuff.
