BSOD Help! Hardware failure

Koujimaru · December 20, 2017

Hi all,

To give a bit of background of my setup, I'm using a MSI Z270 Gaming M5 motherboard with an i7-7700K (delidded and oc'ed to 5Ghz - 1.3V, cooled by a Dark Rock Pro). My PSU is a EVGA 750B1, and I'm running 2 HDDs and 2 SSD, one of which is my boot drive. Also a GTX 1070. 16GB Ram 2666

Now, there hasn't been an issue with my setup and has been running fine since I built it 6 months ago. Suddenly, yesterday whilst playing PUBG it gave me a BSOD. This was my very first BSOD ever with this setup.

Carried on and it gave me a second BSOD right after reboot and when I started another game. I then clocked down my CPU to stock because initially I thought it was an OC failure but now it's down at stock with 1.3V and the BSODs still happen.

I've ran a memory test and it was fine. GPU stress tests were fine. Cinebench and other CPU tests were also fine (to an extent, sometimes it would BSOD, sometimes it wouldn't. When OCed though not even a chance as it will just either BSOD or restart).

My PSU has been making a weird noise as of late and I'm not sure whether it is the PSU fault or my CPU. The thing is I haven't tinkered with it and it has been running fine until yesterday.

Here's a pic of the BSODs.

If anyone could help with this that would be a huge help. I'm out right now looking for a PSU to buy so if there's anything required for me to do on the PC I will be back in 2 hours.

Thanks
