Windows 7 blue screen of death and then PC does a disk check at least once a day. Please help!?

Question

As the title says my PC won't stop doing disk checks and blue screen of death.

I just built this new PC and installed 64 bit Windows 7 premium and only a few hours into using it, my PC started having this problem!

It usually happens once a day after I have been at work all day and after it goes through the sudden blue screen crash, it does a lot of disk checks then works fine for a while until the next day!

Also the weirdest thing of all is I tried to look in my minidump folder, but there is no data at all! How can there not be any data if it blue screened!!??

Here are my specs.

Motherboard: Asus Maximus Hero VI

Processor: i7 4790k quad core 4.0 GHz

Ram: 2x4 corssair vengence 1886 MHz

Memory: 128 gig solid state drive

Answer 2

That would indicate hardware crash. Likely overheating or bad power supply.



Did you apply the thin layer of thermal paste on the CPU when installing the heat sink and fan?



What power supply are you using? Is the watt rating enough for your computer?

Answer 3

Its possible it could be something like the registry... are all your drivers up to date? Are all the parts brand new? Could also be hardware failure (ssd or ram related). To rule out the hardware run windows memory diagnostic and a hard drive diagnostic (from the manufacture site). Is your psu at the correct wattage? Also make sure your bios settings are correct for the ssd.

Answer 4

Download the program BlueScreen View and run it to see if that will reveal what is causing the problem.

Answer 5

Every BSOD has a STOP code, which indicates which drive or component has failed, without knowing that, diagnosing is only guesswork.
