How do you personalize, *I had a BSOD?* Cause that's what happened.

After some confusion about this section last time, I'm pretty sure that blue screen that came up and said AHHHHH YOU DIED!!!!!! (well it didn't say that, I translated), was a BSOD.

My computer crashes regularly, and since I am about to build a new one, I upped the voltages on my 4 cores a little (trying to stop the non bsod crashes). It seems to have worked, been a few day, then this BSOD while I was playing WOT and listening to SPOTIFY (that's usually what I'm doing when my computer crashes because that is what I mostly do lol).

Given that it's been a couple or three days of continuous use since I upped the voltages (still in the green zone, before they were the lowest voltage in the green that was *stable*) it seems like that wouldn't be the cause, but it IS the only thing recently that has been changed. I also suspect some audio problems as well but don't know where that factors in. Anyway, here is the file;

While I guess smoking a computer WILL prevent anymore BSOD's, or anything other than a blank black screen, it wasn't quite the solution I was looking for. I guess I am now out of time on my build research......... but hey, I can devote all my time on it now. I mean I already put the fire out on this one so other than taking a sledge to the hard drive this one requires no more time.

While technicslly *solved*, i just can't make myself hit the solved button on something that torched my rig. But thanks for the try lol

Are you implying running MemTest86+ would somehow destroy the computer?

I'm not implying anything, I think I was quite clear lol. I watched it happen. I ran MEMtesat and stuff started blowing up....... figuratively. This thing was old and on it's last legs so Memtest DID in fact kill it much like a marathon would kill a lifelong smoker with lung cancer.

SO if you try to give him mouth to mouth when he collapses and his lungs explode.........

I could have counted beeps and looked up post codes and whatnot to figure out EXACTLY what died first, but why waste the time of the person helping me (you). If I could keep this on life support, great, but since it can't, I'll pull out what can be used, trash the rest and go on. I'm typing this on a new computer already as I'm setting it up. I typed the last on a phone this morning to update you and hopefully give you a laugh. Maybe a visual of a cartoon dude with a blowed up computer in his face with his hair all frazzled and stuff......

Anyway, thanks for the help. And despite the joke, I think we CAN call this solved.
