BSODs frequently on a Win8 Pro x64 installation; went back to 7.
A few months ago I formatted my HDD and installed a fresh copy of Windows 8 Ultimate x64 and reinstalled all of my favorite programs game and utilities. After a month or so I started getting a BSOD approximately once a week. I wish I could give more information on the BSODs, but I hadn't saved the minidumps at the time. I can tell you that I googled what I could remember from the crash messages and checked several message boards that seemed to pinpoint it to a video card driver/hardware issue.
I wrote it off as a Windows 8 problem since I never had a BSOD using 7 so I recently formatted again, went back to Win7 Ultimate x64 and tried my luck again. Today I got another BSOD and I could remember what I read matched a lot of the information from the Windows 8 crashes. I have included my .zip of my minidump.
