Hello all,
I'm running on a relatively new install of Windows 7 64bit Ultimate. I recently (about 2-3 weeks ago) installed a new HD and decided to have a fresh start so everything was formatted followed by win 7 install. Everything has been running great up until mid day yesterday. Out of what seems like nowhere I experienced 6 or 7 BSOD's yesterday and from what I could tell they occurred when I tried to do any of the following: 1. Access drive D and play a video file (This is the new HD, it would instantly BSOD). 2. Access internet within 1 minute of startup.
Since yesterday I haven't had any BSOD's and have had the computer running, I haven't tried to play any videos off of HD and haven't reset my computer since (hoping that whatever it was has gone away, although I'm sure it hasn't). For the record I have accessed some music files on drive D without any issue, as well as several word and excel documents (not sure if that makes any difference?)
I have a feeling it may have something to do with my new HD that I installed, but have no idea what it could be as it was running without issue up until yesterday (for at least 2 if not 3 weeks).
My system specs are as follows:
OS: Windows 7 64bit Ultimate
Manufacturer BIOSTAR Group
Model A740G M2+
Total amount of system memory 6.00 GB RAM
System type 64-bit operating system
Number of processor cores 2
Disk partition (C) 272 GB Free (298 GB Total)
Disk partition (D) 1630 GB Free (1863 GB Total)
Display adapter type NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460
other info:
-all drivers should be up to date to the best of my knowledge
- i've looked around and have seen a lot of recommendations to run memtest? I have yet to do so
I've enclosed a system health report and minidump file as outlined on forum requirements. Please let me know if there's any other information I can provide that would be of help. Thank you in advance!
