I HATE BSODS. They scare me. Literally, if my computer has a blue screen when I go to bed I won't be able to sleep.
Moving on... I've been relatively BSOD-free in the past while. Until just recently. The other day, I decided to try overclocking my CPU again, and I promptly recieved a BSOD when I started up my folding. It was a minor overclock, and I'm not certain that it was the culprit. I have the stop code upstairs- I'll post it when I get the chance.
Now last night I was using my computer and it started acting funny. It switched over to an opaque scheme, as if I was running a non-DX11 compatible program, without warning me or giving me any sort of a message. I checked the task manager for suspicious activity, and believe it or not, the #2 (after fahcore_a3) item on the list was the windows experience index manager. I opened up control panel and it told me that "new hardware" was detected but I hadn't plugged anything in. I was pretty suspicious at that. It didn't say that it was running, though, it just told me to run it. Soon afterwards the visual scheme went back to normal. I was pretty nervous as this was late and I wanted to sleep, so I quickly shut off my computer.
This morning, I started it all back up again and did the usual routine- setting up the SMP client correctly and all that- and went downstairs to eat. When I returned, sometime in the early afternoon, I had a BSOD waiting for me. This time it was a stop code 0x19, or BAD_POOL_HEADER. I have recieved this once before after a power outage, but I was assured that this is normal. This time it wasn't after a power outage. I nervously restarted the computer, chose to run in normal mode, and it froze on the log-in screen. I waited and waited but still nothing. I shut down the computer before it gave me another BSOD.
I have an extensive history of BSODs on this computer, ever since I built it. The hardware has been pretty smooth going but the software is another story. Like I said, they had stopped occurring on a regular basis until today. I really need some help.
