Random but more common BSODs

[Acerpwns]

So in the past 5 days ive been having more and more frequent BSODs. i built this system December 20th and my first BSOD was around mid February. Now ive had 2 BSODs in <a week. i initially thought it was my CPU OC (back in February) but since that was the only time till now i didnt think too much of it. Now it happened while i was trying to upload a pic to Imgur while listening to Spotify. (the upload to imgur failed a few times but im not sure if thats my PC or just Imgur servers). Any ideas on how to trouble shoot or is it just safe to assume the CPU OC became unstable?

Remove any OC, do some heavy multitasking and see if it happens.

Return everything to stock, then slowly add each change back (XMP ram, CPU overclock, gpu oc, etc) one by one.

Make sure you leave a bit of time between each change back, and use your PC as normal. When you get the blue screens back it'll be the last change that is likely the culprit.

Also check the seating of the CPU/ram/cooler/gpu and any sata/power connectors, just incase something got knocked loose.

i was thinking that if it was a stability issue the problem woulda shown up a bit earlier no? i did test the OC enough to ensure it was stable but im just really confused.

 

ill unplug and re-plug everycable i guess

I would tend to agree with you, however without specific error messages it can be really tough to track down individually.

When my build was having issues I knew it was the CPU overheating because it would run fine at stock but as soon as it turbod up, the temps rocketed and caused the PC to restart itself.

Have you checked temps? It is possible the pump has failed on your CPU, although unlikely.

Was the overclock on manual or adaptive voltage mode?
