  1. Why does my PC blue screen over night when im not using it?


    a few week ago my PC updated to the latest windows even though i had it set to not update. A few days after updating, it began randomly blue screening while in use. sometimes i wasn't even able to log in it would blue-screen before i cud put my pin in. I checked event viewer when i got a chance to get in and saw that windows defender kept having an error. I managed to disable windows defender and installed avastfree version. The Blue screens have stopped randomly but now they only happen when i go to bed at nights when i'm not using it. Or sometimes it doesn't blue screen but it would freeze

    :)

  2. PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??

    Blue Screen

    Hi,





    Blue screens could be caused by problems with your computer’s hardware or with its driver. Still, we
    would like to know more about the issue. Please clarify the following:

    • Did you get a STOP code?
    • Did you install any hardware or driver recently?



    For basic troubleshooting steps to resolve blue screen errors, we suggest checking out this
    article and simply follow the steps.



    Feel free to contact us if you need further help.
