I had a problem a while ago, when playing left4dead2 it kept blue screen of deathing me, At first I thought it may be because comp was overheating, so I order another fan, so there are two fan circulating the air out of my comp, at first this worked. By past few weeks it has started again, plus its doing it with games i have had over 5 years, games that my comp should be able to run easily. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

It would be useful to know what your specs are as it is very difficult to make suggestions with no information.

But by the way adding a fan is not really going to help even if you were having an over heating problem as you would need to work out what was overheating first.

So motherboard make/model: RAM make /type: CPU, Graphics card make/model: PSU wattage:operating system

What about GPU?

I assume you have Windows 7 as your operating system?

Is this a self build?

And yes those components are very reasonable, I have the same chip myself.
