BSOD without code, system service exception, played BF3
Hello! I purchased a MSI GTX 550 TI 1GB DDR5 OC last afternoon to replace my Gigabyte 9800GT 512MB OC. All was fine until last night when I suddenly got a blue screen without a code. Rebooted and I thought it was my new webcam, also bought yesterday, because it would hang at the driver installation screen. I also ran MSI Kombustor on my card for ten minutes without issue.
This morning I ran Battlefield 3 again and at first all was fine and no strange GPU usage drops and FPS drops until a few minutes in then it started. My FPS started dropping from 50+ to 3+ and then suddenly a BSOD with System Service Exception. I booted up and it didn't start. My fans started spinning but no BIOS. Tried a few times and got the memory beeps from my board. I reinstalled my old graphics card and tried and it worked so I put in my new one again and it also worked.
The thing is, it was dumping physical memory but no minidump is present in the folder? Should I wait until I get another one or could this be a one off?
