blackscreen crashes, stuttering audio, out of ideas
Hello,
I was recently given a case that had a motherboard and CPU that was slightly better than my old hardware, so I got a new HDD and put that plus my old video card, sound card, and RAM into the new case. I installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit onto the blank HDD, and fully updated it and installed drivers.
I began to have blackscreen crashes, very occasionally with vertical white dashed lines, combined with stuttering audio. These crashes have only produced one minidump, which I have included. I have also included my DxDiag. You may notice that I am using an old driver for the video card. This was done because the current Nvidia driver has been reported to have many issues. I originally installed the most recent driver, had the blackscreen issues, and decided to try the older and possibly more stable driver. This has had no effect and the problem has continued in the same manner.
The blackscreen crashes have happened while playing Starcraft 2, Terraria, and Bejeweled Blitz. I have used monitoring software and have not seen any sort of heat issue, and also ran Furmark for quite some time to stress test the system, which did not result in a crash.
I am beyond out of ideas, and am hoping someone smarter and/or more knowledgeable than I will be able to help.
If there is any additional information I can provide please tell me.
