BSOD 116, occurs only when system is not under load.
This PC is 11 days old. System specs:
Windows 7 64bit
Intel 3570k, /w Noctua NH-C12P SE14 cooler
ASUS P8Z77
XFX 7970 /w dual fan
Corsair AX 750w
16gb Corsair RAM
Kingston 120gb SSD.
WD Black 1tb
WD Green 2.5tb x2
The case is a Lian Li P80N with good cable management. CPU has been overclocked to approximately 4.2GHz, the GPU has a very modest overclock.
After searching about this crash code (116) and atikmpag.sys, I see several people suggesting that it might be a temperature issue. I have GPU-Z, CCC's Performance tab and Core Temp open as often as possible. Here are general temperatures for my system:
Idle:
- CPU: ~36c.
- GPU: 46c.
Load:
- CPU: up to 60c
- GPU: up to 70c, at which point I manually increase fan speed to lower it to 60-65c range
As stated in the title, I have not has a bsod while playing a game or during other heavy load tasks. BSODs has only occured while I have been away from keyboard with simple programs like Opera, Steam, Spotify and VLC running.
Edit: although system health report says there is no anti-virus installed, I do have Microsoft Security Essentials installed and updated.
