• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Start your computer in Safe Mode to see if you get this same Blue Screen. If not try a restore at a previous date when you were not getting the Blue Screen. You can also just do the restore without trying the start in Safe Mode. What that does is let you know if software is causing the problem.

Chances are that an overclocked CPU causes such a problem.

It could be any number of things, but this is certainly what I started to see when I tried to push my i7 3770K to 4.5GHz - possibly the (air) cooling wasn't quite up to it, or I hadn't set the core voltage quite right, but since I backed it off to 4.4 before Christmas it's been rock steady.
