    Hi and welcome


    What power supply?


    Oh and by the way you uploaded the "shortcut" to the files not the files themselves. TRy this method





    To enable us to assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder.

    The procedure:

    * Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another (temporary) location somewhere on your machine.
    * Zip up the copy.
    * Attach the ZIP archive to your post using the "paperclip" (file attachments) button.



    To ensure minidumps are enabled:

    Go to Start, in the Search Box type: sysdm.cpl, press Enter.
    Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button.
    Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked.
    Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies).
    Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump.
    OK your way out.
    Reboot if changes have been made.

    Most ceertainly can be the video driver, card, heat, probably not power.

    We need the DMP's to find out.

    ive done some more testing on the gfx card with a stress test and it crashes 1-2 seconds after i start the test..iam suspect that the gfx is just going bad or has been damaged by heat and cant handle much anymore...so before i go any further i believe i will replace the gfx card and if it still continues after that ill go from there...thx zigzag
