Howdy y'all.

I'll cut to the chase. Recently, my computer has been giving me the Blue Screen Of Death quite frequently. At first, it was only when playing games, but now it'll just happen out of nowhere. Each time it happens, it's a different error. I took microcenter, where I bought the parts, and they informed me that a simple mobo replacement should correct it. I did exactly as they said and it still blue screens, even more so than it did previously.

So, does anyone here have any idea what else could be the issue? I've taken it to Geek Squad as well and they sperged out, and I'd rather not take it into Microcenter again just to pay them for something I can do myself.

Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Have you tried turning it off, and not bothering to turn it on again?

..... Usually gets rid of the BSOD, in my rather limited experience.

>a simple mobo replacement should correct it.

to my mind, that's like a "simple heart/lung transplant" or a "simple mars colonization program".

i would have tried swapping out the components one at a time, starting with the memory. it's expensive, i know, and awkward when the bluescreens seem to be random, but memory faults can cause them.

windows 7? it has a memory testing thing built into it. try that.

I guess you're not very good at swapping motherboards.

Unplug, unplug, unplug, unplug, unplug
Unscrew, unscrew, unscrew, unscrew
Put them side-by-side on the bench and transfer CPU, RAM, heatsink
Screw, screw, screw, screw, screw
Plug, plug, plug, plug, plug
Done

There's nothing to do with assembling computers that isn't now "simple". It's not the '80s and computers are legos now.

probably a problem with the graphics card
take that out and use the computer for a bit, see if it still has bluescreen issues. if the problem goes away, that means the issue was with the graphics card and you need to buy a new one

also make sure it's not overheating or anything

If you could, also snap a pic of the bsod itself and post that.
