Problems Since Installing W7 64-bit over 32-bit (Wot, TSW, GW2, Firefo
My friend who built my computer a couple years ago accidentally installed W7 32-bit, which I never had any problems with, except that I couldn't utilize my 6G of RAM, so I finally bought 64-bit and installed it this summer. Since then I've had a lot of problems.
WoT has not worked since the installation, which is no big deal, except that it's weird. A number of other BSOD issues followed, and after GW2 replied to my many crash reports showing video hardware problems, I finally bought a new vid card--EVGA 560ti. This did not seem to install correctly, but after a few hours I managed to install the latest driver and the game ran great.
Then it started crashing again--not as bad as before, but crashing nonetheless (and Firefox crashes *constantly*).
When I started having problems with 64 right after installation, I suspected drivers, and updated every single one. Then I thought it might be memory and ran memtest86. Only the vid card remained a suspect, though--well, with two exceptios: 1) I thought maybe there was some BIOS issue related to the 64 upgrade, but the ASUS board was built for 32/64; 2) I thought there might be a voltage issue since I installed the ASUS Turbo feature, and also Precision, and OC tuner. I would note that I did not have these installed prior to 64. I would further note that I cannot change from Turbo in BIOS--I have no idea why. The computer just seems locked in Turbo (there are supposed to be 2 lesser options that will be more stable). I mention this just to help you diagnose the problem, since I don't know how much info the files I've uploaded provide...
Well, my best friend finally referred me here, so if anyone could interpret the data I'm uploading, I would appreciate it!!
