Howdy all,
Just to let you know i'm not computer wizz so i need a little bit of help.
So here's the story.
What i bought: "Titan Thor" Intel Core 2 Quad Core Q8400 2.66GHz @ 3.20GHz DDR2 System
I bought my PC Bundle from OCuK about 3 months ago. When it arrived (my day off work) I set it all up with Vista 32bit. I then went and installed CS:S since its my main game, and had a quick test of what the gameplay was like on my new rig.
After about 15 minutes on a DM server i got the BSOD(I wanted write down the numbers that show up on the BSOD, but my PC restarted after 2 seconds on the bluescreen). I was pretty shocked but automaticaly assumed it was my OS(since vista has a bad rep) or Hardware problem.
So i opened up my PC and made sure everything was in nice a tight and nothing was loose. It was all OK. So my next test was to install a diferent OS on it, In the middle of installing XP 32bit I got the BSOD??! So this automaicaly knocked the OS theory out of the window. So i went back vista which thank goodness did not Bluescreen while installing. My next assumption is that it is a bad overclock.
Just to let you know these BSODs aren't a once in a week occurrence. My PC Bluescreens when i start it up, sometimes twice. If im on the PC for about 2 hours it will bluescreen up 4-5 times in that time.
Can someone help me please? Its starting to **** me off now. I don't get much time off work and when i do i don't want to be dealing with bluescreens.
Sorry to be complaining like this but its a 3 month old PC there should not be such problems from it.
