    Hey guys, I recently built a new computer for my gaming needs, everything worked out perfectly up until these passed few weeks, where my computer has been randomly crashing (software crashing, also BSoD). I was wondering if there was anyway to identify the problem that might be causing this issue, maybe a diagnostic of troubleshooting of some sort.

    I'm willing to provide anymore information if needed, but thanks for the help.

    If it's totally random and even crashes on desktop while idle.
    Run memtest86+

    Download BluescreenView and it should auto-load the dump files and give you a human readable(ish) view on what's causing it, if you have a lot of dumps and each are totally different then it's probably the RAM and you should run a memtest, your Windows disk has the utility on it already but Jiggly has a link to one if you don't have the disk.

    Honestly I don't know what the stop code is, it's random like sometimes it's while I'm on my desktop doing nothing, or while playing a game of league or battlefield 3.
