Nice temps, might have to look into getting a cooler and repasting again...GPU regularly gets to 90 for me at the moment.

Are you overclocking any of your components, particularly the CPU? When I overclocked my CPU too far it became unstable and I began getting those BSOD's. Otherwise have you updated any drivers recently or installed any new programs that launch on startup?

Should have mentioned this stuff above, sorry. No overclocking at all, no driver installs within the past couple weeks, and the only programs I've installed are Origin and one game, which I have specifically set to not launch on startup.

Well I doubt your memory has suddenly gone bad but just in case you might want to try running memtest86+ to see if it finds anything.
Another thing you could try is to attempt a system restore to before the BSOD's started happening.

SetFSB works wonders =)

Here's a link to a tutorial I wrote a while ago: Official MSI GX640 Owner's Thread

I also recently got a modded bios from Svet on the MSI forums, it adds options to the bios which allowed me to downclock my memory which let me overclock slightly further.

Well, good news is that system restore made the bsod go away, bad news is that everything else is gone too.I log in and all I see is black screen and mouse...

Try starting in safe mode (Spam F8 when your computer is starting up and select Safe Mode)

I remembered that I did install a new update to my antivirus software. Safe mode start up worked, any advice in you're to proceed?


EDIT: Reverting back to before the update brought back the usage of my computer. I am going to uninstall and reinstall avast.

Nice nice, hope it works out for you. If it breaks again you might want to try temporarily switching to an alternative such as MSE.

I just realized how convoluted that last post was. That's what I get for posting from a phone.

Seems to be running fine, and yes, if this had not worked the MSE was my next option.
