    Hi, so as my title suggests, my computer randomly BSOD's, but always within like 10-15 minutes of startup. I can be doing anything from watching youtube videos, playing starcraft, or not even doing anything, and yet my computer will randomly BSOD.

    However, it isnt a BSOD in the traditional sense, because when the error thing pops up when i turn my computer on the next time, I get a BSOD error, but when my computer crashes, I don't actually get a blue screen. My screen just stops receiving from my computer, and it acts as though nothing is attached to it.

    Also, the error code is 116. If my computer crashes again, or rather, when it crashes again, I'll also add a comment with the error report.

    edit: also, I want to thank anyone, and everyone who will take time out of their obviously busy schedules to help me. It really does mean a lot to me, and although it may seem trivial to you, I value your assistance greatly. Thank you, and please excuse my ignorance.

    So as the title suggests, I try to update my graphics card driver (nvidia gtx 480), and each time without fail, I will get a BSOD, 5-25 seconds into installing the updates.

    However, this is not the only issue, because when I'm using my computer normally after getting fed up trying to update the drivers, I get an apparent no reason BSOD while doing something like watching youtube videos, or even playing minesweeper (or I could be doing nothing at all and it'll still happen, albeit later).

    Attached are the dump files.

    You have possible updates of nVidia display driver. Get it and install it.
    Also follow the guide STOP 0x116: VIDEO_TDR_ERROR troubleshooting.

    You should have installed Service Pack 1.
    Code:
    OS Name    Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
    Version    6.1.7600 Build 7600
    These programs also should be uninstalled.

    • ASRock Utilities
    • Daemon Tools

    Free up the startup.

    1. Click on the Start button
    2. Type “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.
    3. Select the “Startup” tab.
    4. Deselect all items other than the antivirus.
    5. Apply > OK
    6. Accept the restart.

    Let us know the results.

    you're a god among men. Thank you, Arc. I caught a cold, so instead of staying in my dorm, I went to my parents house for the weekend, so when I get back to my dorm on Sunday night, I will implement these changes and let you know how everything goes. Thank you very much.

    Also, in terms of the windows updates, I have an "illegitimate" version of windows 7. Basically, I updated once, and for some reason, windows would delete my desktop background, and tell me to update windows. I got sick of this, and just undid the specific windows update, and I have been reluctant to update ever since.

    Also, thanks again, I shall let you know the results of these changes on sunday.

    Hello Andrew, I am a bit curious ... were you shifting between the onboard graphics and the card graphics? The dumps are saying so.

    If you want to use the onboard graphics, you are to update the intel graphics driver. Get it from http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Default.aspx.

    If you want to use the card graphics, you must to troubleshoot stop 0x116. STOP 0x116: VIDEO_TDR_ERROR troubleshooting . As a start, do it: Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark.

    Let us know the results.

    Ark, I did not even know that I could switch between the two (I'm a beginner, I have relatively no idea what im doing). If it was switching between the two, it was happening without me knowing, and I wasn't doing it consciously. And im pretty sure I want to use the graphics card graphics, because those are better, presumably, right?

    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?

    koolkat, its a new computer, first one i built on my own. The parts are under warranty, i think for around a year.

    I didnt do that graphics card thing, so I'll do that, and see what happens. Thanks.
