My PC keeps keeps crashing and getting a BSOD.

Does the temperature of my GPU have cause for concern or is there anything else that could be causing this?

Thanks

Thanks for all your prompt replied and apologies for the delay in mine.

I'll try to get the error code tomorrow although a lot of times the screen just goes black for around 20 seconds and then comes up saying "no signal". Sometimes the screen comes back to normal with a message saying the display drivers stopped working properly even though the drivers are up to date.

Sometimes it will just go the bsod and reboot. By the way I did the memory test which came up with "pass complete, no errors".

What's the best way to get the error codes and can I get them using the dump files? How do I go about this? Do the temperatures look OK to you?
Cheers
 
when does it crash? anytime? or just in games

enabled xmp memory profile if you memory supports it in the bios? might need a touch more cpu northbridge voltage from what stock is using in the bios

can also look in windows event viewer to see what the latest crash cause was,look at the errors and warnings

The screen goes black at random times. Sometimes it comes back on after 20 seconds with a message stating "display drivers stopped working". Other times it just states "no signal" and I have to reboot by holding the power button down.
I'm not sure what you mean by "enabled xmp memory profile if you memory supports it in the bios".

I'm not really sure what I'm looking for in the Event Viewer.
There are 3 critical items in the last 7 days. Also, there are 112 errors and 84 warnings in the last 7 days.

Is there anything specifically I need to look at or post here to diagnose the problem?

Cheers

Try a full reinstall/roll back could be driver issues

I've already tried a clean re-install of Windows to no avail.

I've just had another BSOD in the middle of an online poker tournament at the worst possible time.

I've got a copy of the dump file and can upload it later if anyone might be able to help with assessing it?
Much appreciated
 
Have you noticed any trends in the bluescreening?

Does it bsod while idle (as in doing nothing with pc), on internet browser and in games?

Have you set your ram to XMP profile (In bios?).

How long did you run memtest for?

I ran the memory test all the way to the end:

I'll check out the BIOS to see if there is an option to set the RAM to XMP. Will I still need to do this even though the RAM test came out fine? It BSOD's when on the internet or playing games

Have you tried updating your graphics drivers?

Hi, yes my graphics drivers are up to date.

I currently have a Sapphire HD6570 and am considering upgrading it to get rid of this problem. My budget is £100 maximum. Do you have any recommendations? My motherboard is a n Asus M5A97.

Thanks
