So I recently purchased a power color r9 290x gpu and found out that my power supply didn't have enough amperage so I bought a xfx xxx edition 750w power supply in an attempt to stop the BSOD. However the blue-screening is still happening, I can play games on ultra while doing other things on my other screen for around 8-10 hours before it will blue-screen. I have found that it more commonly crashes on full screen hd videos so I made sure I had the latest gpu drivers and made sure that flash player is up to date. I also tried prime 95 to test the CPU and gpu and both checked out fine.
I also ran a mem test overnight and there was no errors. Also ran an Anti-virus and Spyware scan, the spyware returned a few results so i removed them. That still didn’t solve the blue screening though. So this made me wonder if it was hard drive related so i ran a defrag, disk clean-up and registry fix with ccleaner however yet again this didn’t fix it. Then i thought about drivers so i made sure my bios and video card drivers were up to date as well. I was running out of things to try so i tested again with prime95 and noticed the multiplier was dropping down to 3.3 GHz then back up to 3.6 GHz.
So I looked into it and apparently means that my cpu is degrading from the oc I have had for a year. I under clocked to 3.3ghz like it was jumping to and it still blue screened so i lowered it even more to 3GHz,still nothing changed. So i did even more research looked into it more and people said they lose a few GHz but not as much as mine is saying I’ve lost. I should also mention that the crash does not happen with my old card and that i used furmark overnight to test my new gpu so it definitely isn’t dead from the box.
I should also mention i have posted this once already but the person helping me couldn’t help fix my problem however we tried raising the voltage by .05v while the cpu was on stock settings and taking out the 1333 ram i have since it was a mismatched set up with that in, tried this with and without the voltage increase but the same BSOD error kept happening. He also noticed that my graphics card is unusually cold under load for on air cooling at idle it is at 40 c and playing far cry 4 on ultra it only goes up to 50 c. Not sure if that is relevant to the BSOD but there is some extra information anyway.
Any help would be much appreciated.
p.s specs are on profile.
