Hello, I have a new system that has been completely stable for weeks, except in the first few days where I had to update the bios to F7. System is on the left!

In the past week, with no changes in software/hardware, I've started experiencing BSOD. Upon rebooting, I either have :
  • A black screen after loading Windows (it could be before, I forgot)
  • The Windows login screen where my USB KB/Mouse don't work

I'm scared my MOBO/PSU are dying :S

Any hints on what it could be?

First happened launching FFXIV, about a week ago.

A few hours ago, I had the computer idle for a few hours, and coming back to it, it was a black screen, not a BSOD.

I'll try RAM profiles (non-XMP), cpu power settings, and check PCI-E voltage as I've found...

To me it's just weird that it didn't happen before, if these settings were an issue.

It's a problem that happens only on Gigabyte boards so far. Disable the on board VGA and anything related to it. Try different suspend modes (s1, s3), and check your RAM modules with memtest (you have it on Hirens boot CD).

That's all I can suggest for now, keep me (us) posted about your progress.

Happy hunting

Tried disabling onboard VGA, sound card, E1ST, C1, C3, tried default bios, going back to previous Nvidia drivers (from 327 to 320). Yet to check my RAM but my RAM were on my older system, about 2 year old.

I hear a click whenever I get to windows, and when I crash as well. A unusual click that doesn't sound normal. It's hard to say where it comes from.

Try with another HDD and after that run memtest on your ram,try with diferent psu. After that, rma your board.
