    BSODs when using Pot Player & Black Screens when gaming


    Hi everyone,

    I recently built a computer and am having a few issues. The most recent problems (BSODs - MEMORY_MODULE, IRQL) came while watching videos through Pot Player, which I had just installed.

    While not a BSOD, my computer monitor has gone black a number of times while playing even low-intensity games. The computer itself stays on, but my only choice is to reboot. I have monitored temperatures of both the CPU and GPU, and they both stay fairly low (CPU- 35-40C, GPU 45C). I am not OCing. For reference, my outputs are HDMI to monitor, DisplayPort to A/V Receiver, and optical to receiver.

    I believe I have the latest BIOS firmware, graphics drivers, etc. I ran 2 passes of memtest without error. I'm worried that there might be a hardware issue, but I don't know where to start.

    I can't add a 2nd system spec to my profile, so here are the particulars for this computer:

    AMD FX-8350
    Cooler Master Hyper EVO 212
    MSI 970 Gaming MB
    Power Cooler R9 380 4GB
    G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1600
    2x External 2TB WD MyBook HDs
    Crucial MX100 SSD 500GB
    Corsair CX600
    Rosewill Stryker M Case

    Thanks in advance for any and all help.
