in the last couple of days i've been getting a lot of blue screens of death, for no apparent reason.
it happened 5 times in 30 min this evening and i did't even get to type my password the first time.
i've had this problem before but i thought it was resolved when i bought a watercooler last year, since whocrashed said it was probably due to a thermal issue (wich is what it's still telling me). i haven't had any problems for the last 6 months or so, this makes me think it's still a thermal issue, but it doesn't make all that much sense since it also happens when the pc is at idle (as i said, mere seconds after booting up and showing the windows password screen).
my pc:
ASUS H87+
i7-4790K
GTX 970 Windforce
16GB RAM
750W PSW
256GB SSD + 2TB HDD
CoolerMaster seidon V (CPU cooler)
