BSOD possibly from Nvidia nvlddmkm.sys Driver

WOW. A 10 year old PSU? Man....I dont use a PSU or mechanical HDD past 5.

Could you test the PSU?
PSU - Test DC Output Voltage

I'm not entirely sure I understand how to do this. The HDD is SATA, so not sure how to test that with the probes, the PSU wont turn on if the motherboard 24-pin connecters are not plugged in, and the tutorial doesn't specify how to check the GPU 6pin PCI connectors. I did test a few of the random 4 pin molex connecters that are not plugged in to anything, and they all read as 5.07

Please only test the PSU, the PSU is the most important to test

I guess I just don't understand what you mean. I tried following the tutorial you posted, but as I said, my HDD is SATA so it doesn't have the 4-pin connection like it shows in the tutorial. So I tested a couple of the 4-pin molex that are not plugged into anything and they read 5.07v. The PSU won't turn on if I unplug the 24-pin connection from the motherboard to test it, so I can't get a reading....

I downloaded SpeedFan and took some screenshots, though I don't know if they are helpful at all.


I also found a file under System Information that is flagged as causing hardware problems; bdfwfpf ROOT/LEGACY-BDFWFPF/0000. I have no idea what that is.

That's weird, because I've never used Bitdefender....don't know how it could have gotten installed on my system

Hello Layback Bear, thank you for the suggestion. These are the voltages I got from my BIOS

CPU= 1.156v

3.3 volts = 3.60v

5 volts = 5.040v

12 volts = 12.384v

It is a OCZ Game X Stream 700 Watt PSU
