Since Vista, the "Timeout Detection and Recovery" (TDR) components of the OS video subsystem have been capable of doing some truly impressive things to try to recover from issues which would have caused earlier OSs like XP to crash.
As a last resort, the TDR subsystem sends the video driver a "please restart yourself now!" command and waits a few seconds.
If there's no response, the OS concludes that the video driver/hardware combo has truly collapsed in a heap, and it fires off that stop 0x116 BSOD.
If playing with video driver versions hasn't helped, make sure the box is not overheating.
Try removing a side panel and aiming a big mains fan straight at the motherboard and GPU.
Run it like that for a few hours or days - long enough to ascertain whether cooler temperatures make a difference.
If so, it might be as simple as dust buildup and subsequently inadequate cooling.

I've had it up to 1.6 with no Vcore changes but, after 14+ hours my display started to blink off. So, I backed off to FSB 100 for a while.
But then I upped it to try and keep my CPU from running at 100% all the time. Now it actually drops off the high mark more often and everything is stable. It's minor but, until my new CPU arrives, it's all I got! | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Old Build OS Win7 ultimate 32bit CPU AMD XP 2600+ Better than the old Duron!!

I will bet it is the OC.

I just ran it about 30 minutes ago, not oc'ed. Same result.
Methinks it's just an overworked old CPU! It sits at 100% almost all the time!
After the re-boot, I ran a couple of passmark tests. One at 100FSB 1.1Ghz and one at FSB133MHz for 1.4GHz.
Overall, the 6600 kills the crap out of the old ATI 64mb card I had and the CPU scores all run about 30% better!
So, when I get the new CPU, either a Barton XP2600 or a 3000 (or both!), I'll try it again. I just don't think this poor Duron has the guts to handle Windows 7! I ran XP on this no problem but 7 is a bit more intense on the CPU!
Thanks for all the links and info! I definitely learned something today!! A bunch! Thanks!!

Well, I have updated my drivers and put in an AMD XP 2600+, no overclock, at 1.9GHz.
Same result BSOD!
Nothing is over heating, I just don't get it! Everything works except my 6600GT is a DX9...could that be causing it? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Old Build OS Win7 ultimate 32bit CPU AMD XP 2600+ Better than the old Duron!!

Possibly. Do you have the older DirectX drivers installed? Follow the steps for Diagnosing basic problems with DirectX. To re-install your display card drivers as outlined in the DirectX link, use the following steps. - Download the drivers you want for your display card(s)
- Click Start Menu
- Click Control Panel
- Click Uninstall a program
- For NVIDIA:
- Uninstall the NVIDIA Graphics Driver (this should uninstall all NVIDIA software and drivers)
- Restart your computer
- Make sure NVIDIA 3D Vision Driver, NVIDIA 3D Vision Video Player, NVIDIA HD Audio Driver, and NVIDIA PhysX System Software are not still listed under Uninstall a program through Control Panel
- If any remain of the above, uninstall one at a time
- If asked to restart after uninstalling any of the above, do so, and continue uninstalling any remaining NVIDIA items until all are removed
- Restart your computer after uninstalling drivers for all display cards
- Install the driver you selected for the display cards once Windows starts
Remember to try multiple versions of the graphics drivers, download them fresh, and install the freshly downloaded drivers. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion e9110t OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit CPU Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz Motherboard Pegatron IPIEL-LA3 Memory 6.00 GB Hundai HMT125U6BFR8C-H9 Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 4850 Sound Card Realtek High Definition Audio/ATI High Definition Audio Monitor(s) Displays Acer AL2216W Screen Resolution 1680x1050 Keyboard HP Keyboard Mouse HP Mouse PSU Unknown/installed by HP Case HP generic case Cooling Intel Stock Cooling Hard Drives Hitachi HDP725050GLA360 ATA Device 500 GB Internet Speed Download: 19.15 Mbps Upload: 1.67 Mbps Other Info Network Adapter Realtek RTL8168D/8111D Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.20)

What? You are just an Ad for Driver Detective!
I am not going to uninstall my nvidia driver so that I can buy DD and have it screw with my video card!
Besides, I've decided that this Windows performance test can bite me! I'm completely TIRED of trying to ef around with it so, forget it!
