BSOD - always at the same time

[Junes]

So, for a couple of weeks I've had increasing occurrances of BSODs. Funnily, these always happen at the exact same time, which is around 45 seconds after I boot. I can usually see it coming since Skype closes itself, and MSI Afterburner doesn't even bother to start. When I reboot, everything works fine. For a while it's maybe happened once every two weeks, now it's happened 3 days in a row. I'm a little concerned to say the least, but also intrigued by the fact it always happens in the exact same situation. If you guys could point me to a tool I could analyze my crash dump file with and show it to you, I'd be grateful. I'm running a i7-4770K OCed to 4,35Ghz, if that matters. The OC has proven to be stable over the past year or so, although a recent IntelBurn test may speak against that - I ran a test on max stress level during the day while I was away, when I came home I saw my desktop frozen, the test had been apparently half done (25 out of 50 tests afaik) when the screen froze (still displayed every normally though, just no movement, and I had to force-shut the system down).

 

Halp anyone?

Try changing your 4770k to stock speeds and voltage just reset to defult and see what happens

Yeah, sucky as it is remove your OC and see if it corrects the BSODs.

Once stable just start the OC process all over again. Re-evaluate your chip as if it were new.

Fresh OS install cause y'know...reasons.

Terve!
Again, I do think that there is some kind of issue with the "services". As far as I know this is the time when the services with delaied launches start.

I kinda doubt (with hope...) that it is not the OC.

Have you already checked the serveices and backgroundprograms?

Sayonara!

That's indeed what I wanted to do next. However, I run another IntelBurn Test today for almost 30k seconds (1750 "Normal" tests) and the CPU (with OC) appears to be stable. The fact that the BSOD always happens at the same time (if at all), makes me kinda doubt it's CPU-related.

We'll look at it next weekend, I guess.

IMO, next step.

Sorry, I don't have any XP with dump files.

So I've narrowed it down to the OS/boot drive. I have my OS installed on a Corsair Force GS 128GB SSD, and it crashes pretty much every time I boot from 'cold', i.e. after it hasn't been powered on for a couple hours. After reboot it works fine and it never crashes at other times. What on my boot drive could cause a BSOD 45secs-3mins in?
