Hey m8s, need a little help with some crashing.

This was my first build - the PC is about 1 year old.

Running OS: 7 Ultimate x64
6 gigs DDR3
i7 920 board
nvidea 260 special graphics

I've uploaded requested info.
Here's the crash:

Hello and Welcome !

Seems like some Hardware is casuing the problem. Follow this article https://www.sevenforums.com/crash-loc...-new-post.html

Update the nVidia Driver as well seems like some issues are going on. Follow this Cleaning guide nVidia Driver Cleanup Guide !! « Captain Debugger

Run a Hardware Diagnostic (Memory and Hard Drive) follow this link for instructions Hardware Diagnostic !! « Captain Debugger

Try this free video stress test: FurMark: Graphics Card Stability and Stress Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net

FurMark Setup:
- If you have more than one GPU, select Multi-GPU during setup
- In the Run mode box, select "Stability Test" and "Log GPU Temperature"
Click "Go" to start the test
- Run the test until the GPU temperature maxes out - or until you start having problems (whichever comes first).
- Click "Quit" to exit

Try this free stress test: Free Software - GIMPS

Prime95 Setup:
- extract the contents of the zip file to a location of your choice
- double click on the executable file
- select "Just stress testing"
- select the "Blend" test. If you've already run MemTest overnight you may want to run the "Small FFTs" test instead.
- "Number of torture test threads to run" should equal the number of CPU's times 2 (if you're using hyperthreading).
The easiest way to figure this out is to go to Task Manager...Performance tab - and see the number of boxes under CPU Usage History
Then run the test for 6 to 24 hours - or until you get errors (whichever comes first).
The Test selection box and the stress.txt file describes what components that the program stresses.

Hope this helps,
