    reboot while playing games (minecraft, Rift, Fall Out) New video card


    Just did a complete re-install of Win 7 Ultimate x64. New video card (GeForce GTX 570). Downloaded latest video drivers from nvidia. Tested out the card on Rift and the machine will re-boot with a "The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck" error in the system logs. Tried a slightly less graphical game (Minecraft) and got the same error.

    Here are the details of the error and I have uploaded the MEMORY.dmp file to my web server and provided a link below. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000116 (0xfffffa800baf14e0, 0xfffff8801064bf10, 0xffffffffc000009a, 0x0000000000000004). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 092111-38189-01.

    Link to Memory.dmp file

    BSOD report and performance log report are attached.

    I downloaded the latest drivers from Nvidia when I installed the card last week. I just tried the new set of Beta drivers and I am getting the same thing. I have taken the card out and switched slots and I get the same thing. Using DVI to a Dell monitor.

    Still searching for a solution...

    ok. I fixed my problem. I replaced the power supply and Ouila! I have had zero crashes in a week and I have been playing all of the games that were making it crash. I am assuming that the card was not getting enough power when it had a heavy load placed on it. I had a 1000W power supply and just replaced it with another (same brand) one. Tiger Direct didn't have the exact wattage that my original one was, but the new one (1080W) is doing great.

    Hope this helps someone with the same problem.
