BSOD

[CraKaJaX]

What causes this god damn screen to pop up? I just got it from out of nowhere. My temps are fine @ 33C. I haven't installed any new hardware at all, unless hooking up a digital camera via USB would cause it? I know that is "new hardware" but it's the most simple thing.. if it is my camera, what's wrong with it? That's the only recent thing I hooked up. I had my camera hooked up for hours and everything was fine, but now I just got the BSOD. I checked all my cables, they're fine. What else would cause this to happen?

Instability of some sort.

If you are OCing, perhaps back down a bit.

If not, memtest your RAM.

Ya I got one outta no where after 2 months....I guess its just a random instability, you should only be worried if it continues.

Power supply perhaps?

sounds (by reading) a instability problem or psu. Check your system by stressing it w/ using prime95 for at lesat 12 hours without errors. And at least memtest86 for an hour (for a general idea of being stable)

specs?

Well I didn't try running Prime95, I ran memtest for 3 hours with no errors. I'll try Prime95 next, haven't gotten it so far yet today though. We'll see what happens

Specs:

Winchester 3500+ @ stock
2Gig Mushkin Value ram @ stock
A8N Sli Deluxe
6800GT @ stock
Audigy 2 ZS
OCZ Modstream 520W

Well trying Prime95 would be your best bet i mean Prime95 is the best tool for detecting hardware instability but are you sure it isnt a software issue?
