News system, frequent BSOD

TheShine · 16 Dec 2010

Heya,

first post here... first system built

The whole system is brand new, within a month and a bit, and has been running fine until just recently. I get BSOD frequently. I replace the video card drivers already, and yes I uninstalled the previous driver first. That helped a bit but I still can't work long on this machine as it is. crashes are random.

It's the second install of Windows on this machine. My first hard drive bit the dust within a week. So a new drive with a new install.

Any help would be appreciated. I have attached a dump file Zip as per board's posting instructions.

***Edit notes: waited for latest BSOD after removing AVG

quick system specs:

Windows 7 home premium x64

Intel i3-550

Asus P7H55-M LE

2x Corsair 4GB XMS3 PC10666 1333MHz

EVGA GeForce GTX460

onboard sound

Thermaltake TR2 RX 750W

Cheers,

Dumps blames your GPU
This stop 0x116 TDR error is generally caused by faulty RAM/GPU or bad drivers, since you have already reinstalled drivers I suggest testing your RAM
RAM - Test with Memtest86+

If no errors are reported in the RAM test your should replace your graphic card

So I have memtest86+ running but it gets stuck. First try it got stuck at pass 5%, Test 65% within a few minutes of running. So I rebooted and now it got stuck at Pass 10%, test 9% for near 10min now. The red blinking "+" is still blinking but nothing else is going on. Is this common for this test or is it truly getting stuck? I've never run this test before so I'm not sure what to expect.
