So, i removed win 10, went back to 7, still having same issues, almost a bsod every day, swapped out my SSD and done another fresh install of win 7 - same result. I'm beginning to suspect that it's connected in someway to the electrical supply in the house. I don't get surges or outages that im aware of (in any case, the pc is connected to an anti-surge device) but i'm aware that computers like a steady supply and even a tiny dip/surge can cause restarts. Anyway, i had another one whilst in the middle of some critical work and now i'm fucked off with it. So, done a little bit more digging: Speedfan tells me the following: If in fact the CPU temp is right, that's a bit of a concern..... Event viewer from the last BSOD: and CPUID HW Monitor: Voltages look pretty solid to me....... so i'm at a bit of a loss, don't want to have to buy new stuff just to find out it's not the problem if i can help it. I'm pretty convinced that it's something to do with the electricals in the house.... Suggestions? Thanks A pretty pissed off Stool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, guess until it bluescreens again, we won't know if it's been fixed, im still pretty convinced that it's something to do with the house electrical circuit. Are you aware of anything that i could use to connect between the power outlet and the pc? never had this issue at all until i moved into this quite old house. With regard to the win10 installation, i use Driver Genius to make sure everything is upto date, the only driver i haven't updated from the factory settings is the bluetooth driver - mainly because it won't connect to my phone if i update it. Somebody mentioned a bios update but i'm not confident in doing that, even though the motherboard has the Asus EZ Flash utility :-( Stool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
