so I've had 2 more bsods over the last 8-9 hrs now. the first happened after I went to sleep, I woke up a little earlier than usual to find my pc was off so I turned it back on and checked the event logs to confirm it
the only thing I had running was my bt client and a disk check on one of my external hdds. the second time was earlier when I had my browser open I had 2 heavy loading pages running before bsod and nothing else running.
I took my side panel off to see if maybe my cpu fan wasn't working I seen that it was a little dusty so I blew the dust out and checked that the cpu fan was secure. I decided to do a system restore to see if that'd help luckily I had a restore point from last week before the first power outage that started this whole mess.
I'm hoping it's fixed this time.
