Crash with Momentary Blue Flash but no BSOD
The Issue: This machine was working like a dream during the Windows 10 Beta. Since then, release after release has had and failed to resolve this issue. It doesn't appear to follow a clear patter, but the machine crashes within an hour of boot. I tried to post this 4 times from the Windows install but crashed before I finished writing.
The Setup: I run Windows and Ubuntu on independent hard drives and am using Grub as the bootloader. There is also a 4TB drive that stores game and file data. I keep only system files on the boot drives as much as possible. Ubuntu has absolutely no issues of any kind. I push the system as hard or harder than the Windows install so thermal issues probably aren't the cause.
What I've tried:
- I ran a RAM test already a month ago. Green across the board.
- I've run Windows Insider, the non-insider builds, and even (stupidly) paid extra for the Professional edition in the hopes that there would be some additional hardware support
The Hardware:
- GTX 980ti
- ASRock Z97 Pro4 MOBO
- 32GB DDR3 HyperX 1600MHz RAM (4x8)
- Intel Core i7 4790k
