Random BSOD (might be Caused from being Over loaded)

Hard to say. If you have bad drivers due to an outdated piece of hardware, installing them the right way may not help. We need to determine whether this is a driver software or driver hardware or hardware issue first.

You said you are running Vista, as well. Is that 64-bit or 32-bit?

Still recommend removing the Slim software. Disable Verifier prior to doing so.


Verifier enabled .dmps indicate hardware issues. Your graphics card and memory are the most common culprits. Can you try a different graphics card? i.e. borrow one from a friend, use an old one lying around, etc.


Download and install CPU-Z and Upload screenshots of the CPU, Mainboard, Memory, and SPD tabs. In the SPD tab, upload an image of each slot.

Uninstall the drivers first through Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Uninstall a program -> NVIDIA Graphics Driver

When the system restarts, make sure the rest of the NVIDIA software has also been installed by checking in Uninstall a program for any NVIDIA items in that list. Remove any that remain. Then you are ready for the following steps.

As you add and remove hardware, follow these steps for ESD safety:

1. Shut down and turn off your computer.
2. Unplug all power supplies to the computer (AC Power then battery for laptops, AC power for desktops)
3. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to close the circuit and ensure all power drains from components.
4. Make sure you are grounded by using proper grounding techniques, i.e. work on an anti-static workbench, anti-static desk, or an anti-static pad. Hold something metallic while touching it to the anti-static surface, or use an anti-static wristband to attach to the anti-static material while working. If you do not have an anti-static workbench, desk, or pad, you can use your computer tower/case by finding a metal hold in it, such as a drive bay.

Once these steps have been followed, it is safe to remove and replace components within your computer.

Correct. :)
