I have a Core i7 920 @ 3.8GHz, rest of my specs listed in sig. I do not think this BSOD is O/C related because I have passed over 20 LinX runs and 12 hrs Prime95 no problem. For weeks I have been running with no BSOD's but last night I saw two in a few hours.
The first one happened while exiting a game (TF2), but I was trying to exit during a map load which confuses Steam sometimes so I thought that might have something to do with it.
The second one happened while changing media in the WMP queue (right as I hit fast forward). I took a screen of this one, see below.
Any ideas?
I have one weird idea. A few days ago I had my case open to do some re-configuration with drives/cables, etc. When I was done I booted up to make sure all my fans and everything was running before closing the case. Once Vista had loaded I went to put the right side panel back on (which only covers the wires routed behind the mobo tray), and as soon as I started putting pressure on it (I have a LOT of wires routed back there and even though I tried to arrange them neatly it's still a tight fit) the PC rebooted without warning. My theory was that one of the cable connections somewhere was finicky enough that putting pressure on the cable caused the signal to flicker. So I promised myself I wouldn't even do simple things like close panels any more with PC powered on. Now, it's been running ok for days since I closed it up, but is it possible that I still have a weak connection somewhere that could be responsible for a seemingly random BSOD? Still weird how it happened at precise moments (while exiting a game or changing a movie file).
