This has been an issue for a while now, but I never cared enough to actually fix it. I often get BSODs whenever using my computer. Sometimes, they're completely random and occur when I don't even do anything. However, most of the time, they occur when closing a browser (Google chrome) with multiple tabs open and when switching tabs in the web browser. This also happens often when I'm in a fullscreen game such as CoD or LoL and I alt tab. Anyone have any ideas as to what this can be caused by?

I've reset everything, including my overclocks and bios settings to stock settings and now I'm starting to get the feeling it's either my ram or my SSD (Crucial M4).

What are the error messages on the blue screens? Without the error code, we can't do anything more than guess.

You can also try running WhoCrashed to see if it gives you more information about the errors.

Edit: didn't make it to the bottom.

Sounds like RAM, but will be interested to see what the Crash report says. Part of me won't be too surprised if it points to the Nvidia driver either.

I concur with Fardringle, we need the error message from the BSOD and/or WhoCrashed report to even begin to diagnose the issue.

Another thing; is all drivers up to date? IE video drivers, sound drivers, chipset drivers, and any other add in hardware drivers?
