Multiple BSOD, what could be the issue ?

Not open for further replies.
Hello everyone,

I've been encountering an increasing number of blue screen of death lately, especially when gaming but it happens also when simply browsing on chrome/edge.

Do you think the issue(s) could be the aging hardware ?

Why the focus on hardware ? Well first the BSODs appear for different reasons randomly, and they come up more frequently every day. Here is the set of BSOD that appear :
  • CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT
  • PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
  • SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
  • MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION
Looking up those errors didn't help much, but I reckon that the issue is memory related.

I've done multiple resets, memory scan check, manually installed drivers, and even cleaned the dust inside the machine today but nothing has changed. The hardware is about 10 years old :
Motherboard : Asus P8Z77-V, Z77, LGA1155, PCI-E 3.0, CFX/SLI​
Processor : Intel Core i5 3570K BOX (LGA 1155, 3.40GHz)​
GPU : Sapphire FleX HD 7950 3GB​
RAM : Kingston HyperX Genesis (4 x 4GB, DDR3-2000 (PC3-16000))​
Disk1 : Samsung SSD 840 Basic (120GB, S-ATA III (6 Gbit/s))
Disk 2 : Toshiba DT01ACA100 1 To
Alim : LC-Power Green Power LC6600GP (600W)​

Thank you very much for your help!
