BSOD/Black Screens/Restarts While Gaming
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year...
Getting BSODs, black screens and full restarts while gaming. Happens with Titanfall within 5 minutes, CoD Black Ops after 10 to 15 mins, etc. Takes longer to crash with Battlefield 4. This all started on 12/21/14 out of nowhere. When it started, I had an Nvidia 660 ti installed. After I installed the 970 I received as an Xmas gift, it only got worse.
Maybe my crappy power supply?
Specs:
Intel i7 2600
EVGA 970 FTW
8 gigs RAM - DRAM 3 years old
700 watt Xtreme Gear Power Supply XG-700 (also 3 yrs old)
Asus P8P867-M Motherboard
Western Digital 1TB HD...1x 1TB 7200rpm SATA
I've attached the DM log and Crash reports from Blue Screen.
I've rolled back drivers, updated drivers, etc....
I have tried almost every utility imaginable. Hitman, Combofix, CCleaner, MalwareBytes, etc....Nothing has fixed it.
BSODs happened initially on 12/21. I received dump reports up to a certain point and then they stopped. Now, it's just black screens and auto restarts. I've crashed this rig 10 to 15 times yesterday and no report. Sometimes it black screens and hangs...other times it just restarts. Originally, I thought it was the well known Nviddmkm.sys bug. But, I got other errors too...
I've also tested the HDD with chkdsk several times...ran Memtest at least 5 times...
Anyway, Thanks for your time and help. It's much appreciated.
