Just made a quick edit for readability.

What power supply are you running?
Also, that cpu is a massive bottleneck.

Are you using Chrome by any chance?
When I installed the 14.3 drivers I started getting BSODs when watching vids online. Uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome fixed it for me. It might fix it with other browsers by uninstalling and reinstaling them, but I only use Chrome so i'm unsure about others.

I had issues with the new CCC and Drivers a couple of weeks ago causing random BSODs which turned out to be the Overdrive CPU conflicting with the FX Turbo feature so I simply switched overdrive off and et voila all sorted.

I only have the drivers installed not ccc am trying the latest beta drivers too. btw thanks all for the help

 

[flynnbo3]

Ok installed the latest motherboard bios,and so far so good, will just have to wait and see

Ok for me the fix was to lower the gpu memory clock speed from 1250 to 1200 now all stable with no problems at all

That's strange, lets see if that is the case or just a fluke.

I sometimes get a bsod while browsing the web using chrome also, but I've still not bothered to update my drivers to 14.4 (still on 13.11 :/) so that could have something to do with it. Every time I BSOD it's when I scroll down a webpage using the scroll wheel.
