    Frequent BSOD


    Windows 7
    - x64 (64bit)
    - OEM

    - What is the age of system - 2months
    - What is the age of OS installation - 2months (Reinstalled once)

    Im not sure does this information helps, but my PSU fan is generating lots of sound. Before the sound, there's not much crashes.

    HELP ! , this is my first DIY computer , and im facing such problems.

    The dump blames on your graphic drivers

    When upgrading your graphic driver you MUST remove all traces of the current driver. In order to do that we recommend using Guru3D - Driver Sweeper

    DO THIS IN Safe Mode.
    When it is removed then download and install the fresh copy.

    Do you know your graphics card? If so, let me know so I can find the appropriate link for you.

    - visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
    - if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.


    - - The most common drivers are listed on this page: Driver Reference
    - - Driver manufacturer links are on this page: Drivers and Downloads

    This is for your graphics card NOT your power supply unit.
