we ran a diagnostic and the ram failed. I am testing it with another stick of ram to confirm. We think it ESD'd when dusting.

thanks for the help kind stranger.

correct. My friend is bringing by his PC and we are going to do a diagnostic and if that doesn't have any results swap out each piece one at a time to isolate the damaged component. Until then I'm going to sleep on it. I'll be back on the thread as soon as I wake up.

yes. Should I order the evo 212 and hope it is a heatsink issue. I reinstalled windows, reinstalled all drivers,and I don't know what to do.

it crashed agian

. I stripped the screw holding the GPU so it doesn't hold the GPU. Plus mine blows.

100 percent the CPU heatsink issue. I also managed to strip the screw the case that secures the graphics card. I am going to buy a new case and heatsink, for heatsink is this recommended http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Hyper-212-RR-212E-20PK-R2/dp/B005O65JXI/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1407051908&sr=1-1&keywords=hyper+212+evo

switched heatsink. Running at almost identical heat and have yet to crash. Testing in a game.

Do you reccomend that I reinstall the stock heatsink?

BSOD after new CPU HeatSink So me and my friend installed a new cpu heat sync and dusted out his computer with a air compressor. we just installed a new windows 7 os and he still is blue screening. he was getting KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED / SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCPTION / IRQL errors and such. We also moved the ram around but i dont think it is the cause. the heat sink we installed was http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118036 Here is his build https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1wuTorBJcHkY3JSY1haSFBqLVE/edit?usp=sh...
