BSOD - often after the system has been running for 30-60 mins...
... Or after running media for a while. The system often starts to deteriorate, where the mouse will show jumps or stutters, or will start to drag slowly across the screen. This happens especially if a game or video is running, and when switching between browser windows or closing a window (any window, and regarding browsers there doesn't have to be any media in them). If I do not reboot when I notice this, the computer gets worse then blue screens.
I recently thought I solved the issue by reverting my GPU drivers to their current version and by updating the audio and wireless card drivers (I noticed when running DPC latency checker that each of these were causing drop outs) But then suddenly it blue screened again just now after a few days of running fine.
I can't shake the feeling that the GPU is the issue. It's a GTX 295 which I guess is a bit old now, and I am concerned that perhaps something in the drivers is just not interacting well with it. Problem is, running newer games on old drivers, even though the card is good, may also cause problems.
