Alright, This computer was just built for a friend of mine (Specs Below.) and he keeps having it blue screen based on several different factors. First of all, it will blue screen anywhere, anytime. it used to blue screen only when playing a game for a bit, and he couldn't play any games, because the computer would blue screen after about 10 minutes of gaming.
Well, then he changed the Graphics drivers from 13.12 to 14.1 Beta, and it would crash anywhere. then he went to 14.2 beta, and it wouldn't even let him start the computer as it would crash barely a few minutes after booting. Logically he tried another video card, which sucked and didnt allow him to play any games at all, and it did not blue screen. well, that should signal graphics card problems correct? well, I placed this very same graphics card into 2 other computers and, in both of them, it performed fantastic, and there were no problems even after switching drivers to all of the ones listed above.
After all of this pain, I took the two hard drives in the computer and formatted them, and then raided them, (Raid0) and cleaned every component in the computer and re-installed windows. I then proceeded to install drivers, starting with the graphics drivers (13.12 again) and all went well until I went to install the LAN driver, as i double-clicked the file it blue screened. I ignored it and let the computer restart, it sucessfully installed the LAN driver and other drivers, then I played some games, which ran perfectly, and ran Furmark and prime95 for about and hour apiece, not a single issue. the computer had 5-6 hours of uptime, then I went to download google chrome, and as soon as the download finished, it Blue screened again. is there any explanation for this at all??? Please help!
