Consistent Blue Screening

[Chaoz-Theory]

Hey guys, i got a mate thats just constantly blue screening, if he opens up eg Monster Hunter: World then itll blue screen before he hits the menu or if he goes on chrome and opens multiple tabs itll blue screen 5min later (approx)

 

Specs:

i7 7700k

Asus b250i gaming mini itx

Corsair 16gb (2x8gb) @ 2400mhz

Does it happen in other games as well?

 

Does he have sufficient airflow around the socket? (because those little boards aren't meant for the high end i7 K parts, VRM wise).

Might be the memory module(s) issue.

Try running with only one stick of ram and see one of them is the culprit.

You could also do a check with memtest86+ but its quite a long test.

Any pictures of the error codes? Check the event viewer at the time of the blue screens and pull the logs for further diagnostics.

yep i got him to use 1 8gb stick and switch them around, still the same problem, i havent gotten him to memtest yet, i doubt his pc will hold before finishing the test, crashes really quickly
