Made a thread over the weekend related to several BSOD's I'd been having some of you may remember this some of you may not, so for the one's who don't let me try recap on the story so far.
my whole rig is pretty much brand new, well, within 2 month old or thereabouts, the latest addition being the PSU, then before that it was my GTX 460 and then before than it was an overall upgrade as mentioned.
The last 3 BSOD's I had was hardware related but I'm not sure what hardware it is
Now your probably thinking has this guy had another BSOD and if so just get to the point... well I haven't actually but I would like to ask a few more thing's about what could be causing the problem. I noticed from CPU-Z that Cool&Quiet wasn't on, apparently anyway's, so I goes into BIOS to turn it on, but it is already enabled, so could this be a problem with Cool&Quiet? Also I've noticed that I'm sometimes getting windows lock up's for a short time 2 - 5 second's... hard drive maybe? or just Windows problems? I will add that I've used HDtach and my drives seem to look ok speed wise in that, and last of all I've noticed my DVD drive sometimes disappears from "my computer" and I have to restart to be able to find/use it again.
Ok that should cover it for now
