| | Graphics Card causing BSOD Hello, I recently purchased parts for a new computer i built myself. I have successfully installed windows 7 64bit on it and is running perfectly. I can do almost anything on my computer that isn't graphically demanding I.E. watch videos, browse the web, download files, etc: But whenever i attempt to run any games, my computer instantly freezes and gives me a BSOD. The game will last about 2-4 minutes before crashing. I have a feeling that it is my graphics card that is giving me this BSOD because when i removed it and booted with the on-board graphics card, the games all ran and didn't crash. I have re-installed drivers, updated drivers, and moved the card to different slots, but all to no avail. Any help or ideas is great appreciated. By the way the card is an Nvidia GTX 660 Thank you for your time, Masstec |

You may download it directly, from our forum link Latest NVIDIA ForceWare Video Drivers Windows 7; or you may opt for the Option 2 of Drivers- Download NVIDIA Drivers for “Automatically find drivers for my NVIDIA products” (it requires java installed).  Let us know the result. You may be astonished, but all the dumps indicating to some HDD fault, associated with Norton mainly. There is no clue of a graphics related fault, as far as I have seen  |

| | Arc, these two are needed for SATA III and USB 3.0, I think. A reinstall may be in order for them.

| | Are those drivers must, Gary? Asking, as I dont have that efficiency on those things that you have, and I always keep asking you Seeing 8 crashes within a very short period, and all are storage related, I thought removal of those drivers might minimize the risk there. |

| | Well Arc the reason i thought it was a graphics card related issue was because when i took it out and tried running these programs i had 0 issues with the onboard card. currently installing the 2 programs u recommended and the nvidia drivers. ill let you know the results shortly |

| | If this is a graphics related crash, this thread will add some more information in my knowledge Earlier I have never noticed a stop 0xF4 caused by graphics. So it makes me highly interested. Edit: just noticed .... you need to install Service Pack 1. Learn how to install Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) Service Pack Center - Microsoft Windows Edit again: You said it is a custom built, right? and the system says .... Code: BiosVendor = American Megatrends Inc. BiosVersion = P1.60 BiosReleaseDate = 12/06/2012 SystemManufacturer = To Be Filled By O.E.M. SystemProductName = To Be Filled By O.E.M. SystemFamily = To Be Filled By O.E.M. SystemVersion = To Be Filled By O.E.M. SystemSKU = To Be Filled By O.E.M. BaseBoardManufacturer = ASRock BaseBoardProduct = Z77 Pro4 BaseBoardVersion = |

| | I got the explanation from another person. And I guess SP1 should be installed separately, if it is not installed via Windows update. To make it sure, press the windows button and Pause\Break button simultaneously .... Does it show SP1 installed? if not, install it separately. |

| | OK. Something REALLY wierd just happened. I did everything that you told me to. I tried to run planetside 2, and as soon as i started moving, the game froze, the game exited BY ITSELF (no error or anything), and this is what was really strange: My windows went from having the aero effect to a windows XP style start menu and bar, and it was as if i lost all of my priveleges on my computer and so did the anti-virus and all other programs. it said that it couldn't detect any speakers that are plugged in, which they were and were still playing music. I couldn't open up internet explorer because it was not a valid application. I couldn't access windows security essentials (it would open and close in .1 seconds). I couldn't open task manager. and the strangest thing is that i didn't get a blue screen, it was like this until i had to reboot my computer. I'm going to run my computer with the on-board video card for a while to see if i can get any similar results. |
