I call this, "This Old Comp," and I'm trying to max it out, sort of, and make it work. I'm learning something new every day.
"It's not a true crash, in the sense that the bluescreen was initiated only because the combination of video driver and video hardware was being unresponsive, and not because of any synchronous processing exception".

Since Vista, the "Timeout Detection and Recovery" (TDR) components of the OS video subsystem have been capable of doing some truly impressive things to try to recover from issues which would have caused earlier OSs like XP to crash.

As a last resort, the TDR subsystem sends the video driver a "please restart yourself now!" command and waits a few seconds.

If there's no response, the OS concludes that the video driver/hardware combo has truly collapsed in a heap, and it fires off that stop 0x116 BSOD.

If playing with video driver versions hasn't helped, make sure the box is not overheating.

Try removing a side panel and aiming a big mains fan straight at the motherboard and GPU.

Run it like that for a few hours or days - long enough to ascertain whether cooler temperatures make a difference.

If so, it might be as simple as dust buildup and subsequently inadequate cooling.

I would download cpu-z and gpu-z (both free) and keep an eye on the video temps

I'll try the downloads but, I have the side cover off and have added an addition sys fan, blowing out. I've had zero heat issues so far.

No, it's barely o/c'ed. it's a 1.1GHz and I just opened up the FSB to 133Mhz! to get 1.4.

I've had it up to 1.6 with no Vcore changes but, after 14+ hours my display started to blink off. So, I backed off to FSB 100 for a while.

But then I upped it to try and keep my CPU from running at 100% all the time. Now it actually drops off the high mark more often and everything is stable. It's minor but, until my new CPU arrives, it's all I got!

I will bet it is the OC. No way to get a baseline while you are.

I just ran it about 30 minutes ago, not oc'ed. Same result.

Methinks it's just an overworked old CPU! It sits at 100% almost all the time!

After the re-boot, I ran a couple of passmark tests. One at 100FSB 1.1Ghz and one at FSB133MHz for 1.4GHz.

Overall, the 6600 kills the crap out of the old ATI 64mb card I had and the CPU scores all run about 30% better!

So, when I get the new CPU, either a Barton XP2600 or a 3000 (or both!), I'll try it again. I just don't think this poor Duron has the guts to handle Win7! I ran XP on this no problem but 7 is a bit more intense on the CPU!

Thanks for all the links and info! I definitely learned something today!! A bunch! Thanks!!

Well, I have updated my drivers and put in an AMD XP 2600+, no overclock, at 1.9GHz.

Same result BSOD!

Nothing is over heating, I just don't get it! Everything works except my 6600GT is a DX9...could that be causing it?

Possibly. Do you have the older DirectX drivers installed? Follow the steps for Diagnosing basic problems with DirectX. To re-install your display card drivers as outlined in the DirectX link, use the following steps.

  1. Download the drivers you want for your display card(s)
  2. Click Start Menu
  3. Click Control Panel
  4. Click Uninstall a program
  5. For NVIDIA:
    • Uninstall the NVIDIA Graphics Driver (this should uninstall all NVIDIA software and drivers)
    • Restart your computer
    • Make sure NVIDIA 3D Vision Driver, NVIDIA 3D Vision Video Player, NVIDIA HD Audio Driver, and NVIDIA PhysX System Software are not still listed under Uninstall a program through Control Panel
    • If any remain of the above, uninstall one at a time
    • If asked to restart after uninstalling any of the above, do so, and continue uninstalling any remaining NVIDIA items until all are removed
  6. Restart your computer after uninstalling drivers for all display cards
  7. Install the driver you selected for the display cards once Windows starts

Remember to try multiple versions of the graphics drivers, download them fresh, and install the freshly downloaded drivers.

What? You are just an Ad for Driver Detective!

I am not going to uninstall my nvidia driver so that I can buy DD and have it screw with my video card!

Besides, I've decided that this Windows performance test can bite me! I'm completely TIRED of trying to ef around with it so, forget it!

Just another silly Windows tool of futility!

Excuse me, but who are you talking to? He is not trying to sell you anything. But if you don't like his advice you could go see a repair tech who will charge you upwards of $50usd to troubleshoot and repair your system for you...

I swear that each of the words, "Driver," were links to Driver Detective. I know they were!

Anyways, I'm tired of this. My Graphics card works just fine and it's the WINDOWS product that isn't running fine.

I like Win 7, it's way better than Vista, but still not so sure it is better than XP. I've tweaked my 7 a bit, got rid of all the "OK" pop ups and dumped some useless features. So, I feel OK with it now. But, it's the same old Microsoft behind it.

I'm a newb to Linux and that is becoming a big ball of wax but, when it works...and I'm getting there with a little help...it works well.

Anyways, thanks guys, sorry if I ruffled any feathers. I'm sure I'll be back since my brother is a Senior with a Laptop and I'm a guru to him but a hack to the rest of the world!! :devil:
