Question

Z97X-GAMING 3 and the overwhelmeing SSD

Dec 18, 2015 3:28PM PST
Hello Dears,

So I made this cool rig a month ago maybe. Since I made everything in place and it worked smoothly since I made the whole rig just to play WoW at Ultra settings. After few hours of playing or surfing the Internet. The pc will freeze and a blue screen will pop up saying a technical error that something critical risk and it needs to be shut down, after few seconds the "Reboot and select proper boot device .." message will appear, hence, I tried to recall my BIOS by pressing (alt+ctrl+del) to try to boot from my SSD Corsair Force LS 1205, but I can't find the SSD in the boot menu. How is that possible since I'm using it the first when I turn my pc on as Windows is installed in the SSD.

* Note that I tried every possible way to fix it by unplugging and so.
* Forgot to note that I upgraded my ram earlier I used to have Corsair Vengeance 8GB then added another Vengeance Pro Series 8GB 1600Mhz.

* Attached are my rig specs.

- Speccy run<br>
-SSD Speccy run<br>
-Mobo Speccy run<br>

Please don't hesitate to ask me to provide more Snapshots.


With Appreciation,
Kxng

And then you have folk that trot out temps. Nope. It points to motherboard or heat issues. Rip the cover off and point a fan at it for now.
