Regular issues with my PC

Hello there community!

This is my first post here and since I found great joy in watching Tek Syndicate channel I thought that I might just find the genius people here that will help me. (Pardon my english, I'm writing from Poland here and I'm trying my best!)

Back in December 2011 I bought this PC:

Intel i5 2500K (never OC'ed).

Gigabyte P67X-UD3-B3 motherboard

MSI GTX 560 Ti HAWK (switched to MSI GTX 660 Ti Power Edition OC like a week ago)

2x SSD Vertex 3 drives (the second bought 3 months later after the build)

Cooler - Zalman CNPS 9900 MAX

PSU - OCZ 650 W ZT 80 Plus Bronze Certified

Memory - Kingston HyperX Blu 1600Mhz XMP CLS 9 (4x4GB)

My problem is as follows:

Since the beggining I've been getting random BSOD. I REALLY can't say why is it so. The .dmp code is 0x000000f4 and the files that in 99% of the time causes the crash is ntoskrnl.sys (but today for example the file was ndistapi.sys). 

I just can't handle it. I bought a new PSU, casue the one I had before was some no name reeeeallly bad piece of hardware (Modecom Feel was the name of that crap). I've bought new memory and checked everything with memtest86. I've checked my SSD's with diagnostic windows tools (forgot the name, u write it in cmd.exe to check the disk with the next boot). Nothing, no problems reported AT ALL. The firmware for the SSDs are 2.15 for the system SSD and 2.21 for the additional one. I know I should update the first one to the newest firmware but can't really wipe my windows right now).

The crashes MOST OFTEN occure during web browsing (I browse in Chrome), and yeah, I have tried disabling flash hardware acceleration. Sometimes they happen when gaming (a few times in WoW, GW2 or BF3).

But really, 80% of the time during web browsing, like opening a new tab, watching a YT video and swtiching tabs. Really strange. Right now I even have another (3rd set) of Kingston 1333Mhz Rams to check them, but still the BSOD happened before I started writing this post.

I also have a wireless pci D-Link card in my PC, but uninstalling it and swtiching to a RJ45 cable produced no solutions, BSOD still happened.

Really right now I don't know what to, I re installed windows 7 64 bit hope premium btw, that didn't solve the issue.

 

Would some of you Tek Guru's could please give me some hints what to do? I is really, really annoying.

Oh, I forgot to say, that BSOD can happen like 2-3 times a day, or like every 2 weeks! Damn.

 

Cheers everyone!

Start with a memory test. If it's not that it could be CPU, GPU or Motherboard. Sadly you have a P67 so you can't test by removing the GPU. You can try underclocking the CPU and GPU at the same voltage at different times to see which is bad.

go to http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/

the staff there specialize in bsod debugging, here your more likely to just get general solutions. it sounds like a driver problem to me, the guys there helped me fix my comp. I stick to this forum for general tech stuff, but for bsod issues, i'd go there.

Well I have tried the memory86 tests a couple of times. I have bought 3 different memory kits and still the problems occured. I think the GPU is ok because I just bought the new one (the 660 Ti, before I had 560Ti) and the issue persits. But the CPU testing - I haven't tried that.

it's not hardware, its software. do you have zone alarm and/or hamachi on your computer?

if you post there, I can help you get started, teksyndicate(as awesome as it is) isn't a tech support specialist site

Actually I have clue what a zone alarm or a hamachi is but I will google it right away (googlin...) ok I googled it and Zone Alarm is an anti virus also yes? I've got Microsoft Security Essentials but Hamachi I can download no problem.
