    BSOD every 3 days continuous running


    My computer will restart from BSOD every 3 days without fail. I leave the computer running 24/7 for charts (I am a trader) and overnight on every 3rd night it will get BSOD.

    I have tried everything i can think of.
    -Reinstalled video drivers
    -HDD check
    -memory test for 6 hours
    -turned off sleep for everything.

    Nothing will work.

    Computer is IBUYPOWER GamerSupreme
    -i7 960(3.20Ghz)
    -12GB memory
    -1.5TB HDD
    -Radeon 5870 and 6850
    -Running 6 dell 24" Screens
    -Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

    Full spec in profile, i hope i attached the files correctly, and posted correctly. Sorry if i did not.

    Thanks!

    Uptime can be a contributing factor in these types of problems

    "It's not a true crash, in the sense that the bluescreen was initiated only because the combination of video driver and video hardware was being unresponsive, and not because of any synchronous processing exception".

    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 would download cpu-z and gpu-z (both free) and keep an eye on the video temps

    Ok thank you i will watch the temps. But i have a hard time believing its temp related. That case is VERY open with alot of fans, I just cleaned the case out a few weeks ago, and i keep the room at 68 degrees F with a ceiling fan running at all times.

    The temp is not getting above 58 C and thats even with all the holes on the case covered up over night.

    Maybe i should add, everytime it has a BSOD it is when i am not using the computer, and all the screens are turned off. Usually sometime in the middle of the night.
