Hi guys, a pc I built with Windows 8.1 has ben working fine for some months now but recently when it is turned on it works fine for a couple of minutes then the screen freezes, it gives a BSOD and then reboots and then goes round and round. I ran bluescreenviewer which suggested the ATI graphics driver may be the cause, I finally managed to update it but still the same problem. If I boot into safe mode it works fine, I have finally traced it to be an issue with the Ethernet connection, if the cable is connected to the router I get the freezing, if its not it works fine, I changed the cable but no success. I am assuming its not the Ethernet adapter as it works fine in safe mode, there are other devices connected to the router that are working fine although they are wireless. As disconnecting the Ethernet seems to remove the problem why would the BSOD point towards an issue with the graphics driver?
Have any of you guys known a router to cause BSOD's or do you think it may be an issue with the Ethernet adapter>
