Does this happen often? If not, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Could just be something random. BSOD's usually happen to everyone at some point. I get BSOD's once every few months. Although my other desktop gets on every time I turn it on. It then restarts and works after that. -_-

Dare I say... a BSOD "once every few months" is not normal. Not normal at all.

I've had two BSODs in the last year. The first... no idea what caused it. The second, and most recent, was caused by an unstable overclock where I pushed my core clock too far for the stock voltage and caused a crash.

 

Far from your implication of frequent, random BSODs.

Have you checked to make sure that all your drivers are up to date and also check Windows updates also,the error message is related to a hardware failure message...this also can be related to a heat issue have you checked to see what your CPU temp is running at,also check to make sure there is no dust buildup around CPU fan and heat sink,if your CPU is running hot you may need to take it off and clean it and reapply new thermal paste..

 

Are you also Overclocking?

Not overclocking, but i check my drivers from time to time with Driver Booster 2. Also i applied thermal paste and it hasnt been half a year yet.

This happens from time to time, like once a week, really annoying though how it wipes out everything..

Have you tried running a memory test? It could be faulty RAM.

 

Other than that, idk. since you're not using a GPU, I can't say it's a problem with that. you could try formatting and re-installing Windows.
