Computer Freezes and Blue screens every 15-45mins

[Pud5]

I've had my computer for a bit over 2 years, built it myself. Has been working fine for most of the time. 

However recently my computer will freeze and blue screen very often. 

 

I'm not sure what steps i need to take to identify the problem. 

 

I'm running 2 6950's and a 2500k, with no overclock currently. An SSD and 2 mechanical drives. 

 

Thanks for the help

Download a program called bluescreenview

Start from there and get more information on the problem. Then come back to us with more info

If you find that it is GPU driver related, download this http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/display_driver_uninstaller_download.html and remove all your drives.

Your bsod is GPU driver related. Wipe the drivers completely with the link Nicholas posted. Then go download the latest driver from nvidia/amd

This still didnt solve the problem. The bsod that is happening doesnt seem to be showing. I also tried doing a completely fresh install of windows and the problem still occur.  This is what the bsod is and it doesnt seem to dump. http://imgur.com/YthEQ3f

Then this is possible hardware problem.

FIrstly try this one:

1. Turn off your computer and unplug it from power.

2. Open your computer case

3. Remove  all your RAM modules

Now back in RAM, but change order of modules, it should not be in the same order as before you removed it. If there is only one RAM module, back it in slot where it wasn't been before. eg. RAM slot #3 instead of RAM slot #1.

Turn on your computer and see if problem happens again.

If problem is still occurs:

1. Turn off your computer and unplug it from power.

2. Open your computer case

3. Remove your GPU

4. Remove  all your RAM modules

5. Remove all PCI/PCIe devices you have.

6. DIsconnect all internal devices like PSU, disk drives, optical drivers....

7. Remove CMOS battery

After few minutes:

Back in CMOS battery and all other components you had removed and/or disconnected except RAM

About RAM - back in RAM, but change order of modules, it should not be in the same order as before you removed it. If there is only one RAM module, back it in slot where it wasn't been before. eg. RAM slot #3 instead of RAM slot #1.

I would recommend re-seating everything and giving all the sockets a good clean with some compressed air. Have you checked the GPU's temperature? it could be hitting dangerous temperatures and causes a blue screen to prevent any further damage.

I'd check the RAM as suggested, try removing one of the sticks and boot up, problem persists? swap the sticks and try again. The exact same thing started happening to my fathers computer, almost went insane from trying to figure it out, and when I finaly went back to basic and pulled out a stick, it worked like a charm on first try. RMA'd the stick and it's all working as inteded to this day
