BSOD issues
Hi all, some of you might recognize me from the SevenForums.
I was having these same issues with Windows 7 installed, and it was diagnosed to be a insufficient power supply. To remedy this (and simultaneously upgrade to a GPU to support 3 monitors) I replaced my old graphics card (Gigabyte Radeon R7 250) with a new one (AMD FirePro W4100) which has a much smaller power requirement (50W vice 400W). I felt confident enough in the fix that I also upgraded the machine to Windows 10 (via the free upgrade from 7).
After upgrading, I'm still receiving the same variety of BSOD's I was before (although it seems with a little less frequency). I also did a clean install of Windows 10.
I'm still collecting BSOD's (several got deleted by my new install of CCleaner) but figured I'd go ahead and post up anyways.
Basically, I receive a manner of Blue Screens to include the most common:
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE
I did receive one which trouble me....and might point to the fact I still need to replace my PSU:
INTERNAL_POWER_FAILURE (the fourth minidump)
These happen at any random time whether I am actively on the computer or not. I doesn't seem to be attached to any specific action or program.
Thanks!
