One more update, I am very frustrated with this issue, way too many crashes.

Today I decided to re-install Windows 7, that way I can eliminate any kind of OS corrupted files.

Will keep you posted.

May indeed prove to be a wise decision.
We await your further update.

Well even with a fresh OS install system still crashing, here is today's minidump.

This crash was Related to nvlddmkm.sys nVidia Display Driver. I would re-install the most driver only, not the entire package.


May also be caused by heat, power, etc.

At this point I am convinced my problem is hardware related, but so far my efforts to find out which piece of hardware is faulty have been fruitless.

One more thing I decided to try today was to remove my EVGA GTX470 graphics adapter out of my system and now I am running with the ASUS P8Z68-V Pro's integrated graphics only. I obviously uninstalled the nVidia drivers and installed Intel's graphics drivers.

Any suggestions on how to find out which piece of hardware is faulty is appreciated. What I have tried so far is running several of the hardware stress test programs out there, like OCCT, prime95, memtest86+, Intel's Processor Diagnostic Tool, and some others, and none of them find any issues nor trigger a crash.

Thanks again for all the help!

Probably related to your gpu since it works without the card in.

I am not 100% sure that's the case, that the gpu is the problem, my crashes occur at random times, and sometimes there are a few days between crashes. So, right now I am going to run my system without the gpu for a few days and see what happens.

The dmps uploaded point to your video driver. If it isnt the driver, it is probably the video card, heat, or power.

This morning my system froze, no crash this time, just frozen. I had to power off and back on. Is there a way to force a system dump when it freezes?

If there isnt a dmp please give us your event viewer logs.
