    Random BSoD even after clean graphic driver installation


    So for about 5 days, I have experienced random and sporadic BSoD, before that it was normal and stable. I did my installation on my OS on October 2011. I'm quite sure it's graphic driver but I've clean installed almost 10 times and still crashing. It crashes randomly when I opened a Youtube video or open a video file, everything regarding to video. I'm already feeling hopeless here

    My specs are
    Win 7 64 bit Home Premium (not OEM)
    Gigabyte X58 UD3R
    i7 920
    Gigabyte GTX 480
    Asus Xonar Essence STX
    3x2 OCZ RAM 1033 Mhz
    My OS is located on my SSD which is an intel 510 120 Gb
    I got 1 Tb hard drive caviar green
    I got 500 Gb hard drive caviar green
    and 250 Gb seagate (really old, it's IDE iirc)

    I've uploaded the minidump and system performance, I hope I did right on the attachment (first time posting here). Really appreciate your help, thank you.

    "It's not a true crash, in the sense that the bluescreen was initiated only because the combination of video driver and video hardware was being unresponsive, and not because of any synchronous processing exception".

    Since Vista, the "Timeout Detection and Recovery" (TDR) components of the OS video subsystem have been capable of doing some truly impressive things to try to recover from issues which would have caused earlier OSs like XP to crash.

    As a last resort, the TDR subsystem sends the video driver a "please restart yourself now!" command and waits a few seconds.

    If there's no response, the OS concludes that the video driver/hardware combo has truly collapsed in a heap, and it fires off that stop 0x116 BSOD.

    If playing with video driver versions hasn't helped, make sure the box is not overheating.

    Try removing a side panel and aiming a big mains fan straight at the motherboard and GPU.

    Run it like that for a few hours or days - long enough to ascertain whether cooler temperatures make a difference.

    If so, it might be as simple as dust buildup and subsequently inadequate cooling.

    I would download cpu-z and gpu-z (both free) and keep an eye on the video temps Let us know if you need help

    Thank you very much for your reply, so I did some readings on the articles that you have given. I tried to roll back to 275.xx Nvidia driver and so far 12 hours still no BSoD, I'll mark this thread solved once it hits the 24+ hour mark.
