I have been having a very odd issue with my newly built HTPC. When running Gotham 13.1 and watching a movie or tv show my computer will suddenly BSOD on me. When I first built the pc it lived in my entertainment center and was running the latest version of Frodo. I never had any issues with Blue Screens. But when I noticed that the computer was running way too hot (40-60 degrees idle) I decided to move it up on top of the entertainment center. I got a lot better temperatures and I went ahead and upgraded XBMC to Gotham 13.1. All of a sudden I am having issues.
All of my video files are .mkv's stored on the WD Green Drive
I am running Windows 8.1 Pro and I have all notifications turned off (Facebook, etc) and my wifi and bluetooth are disabled since I use ethernet.
I have updated all of my drivers of the motherboard and graphics card
The only thing that changed on the PC in the move to the top of the EC was I tried to clean up my cable management.
I leave the computer on all the time since it is so quiet and temps stay at 20-30 degrees idle. I can stream all the videos I want outside of XBMC using Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and YouTube. And I have had several 2-4 hour gaming sessions with Bioshock Infinite/Skyrim with no BSOD issues. Only in XBMC.
Here is my build log:
