BSOD randomly, and consistently within 10 minutes of startup

Also, right now, im using my onboard graphics which is literally working fine. No problems. I haven't had a bluescreen for like 2 hours using the onboard graphics (Which is funny because in the BIOS, I set it to only my graphics card, but the onboard graphics are working because those are what i plugged it into). But for some reason, when i switched to primarily my GPU, my screen would literally not even show up. It wasn't that it was getting no signal, it just showed a literally black screen. I still heard the start up sounds, and I could tell that my computer was now "working," because I heard skype go off and what not, but literally, just a black screen.

Change the video settings from BIOS, set it to use only your graphics card or your ITG (integrated VGA) only. Is this a new computer? and is it under its warranty? Since when are you having these problems?

Okay so I went into bios and I changed it to using only the pci express card (which is my GPU) instead of onboard, and instead of letting it do the switching thing, i set that to disabled. With those settings, the graphics card would not work AT ALL anymore and I would only get display with the monitor attached to the onboard. so as we speak, im using onboard graphics. ALSO, I havent had a SINGLE blue screen with onboard graphics.

But also, it doesnt seem to be a hardware error, because i downloaded and ran furmark on my GPU before I changed BIOS settings, and my GPU leveled out after 10 minutes and was fine. so... im thinking its either a problem with my internal hard drive, or my drivers...

Koolkat, I dont think it is. It isnt.
