BSOD random times, possible during CPU/GPU heat up?

*Updated*

I have attached the sevenforums diagnostic file along with the other files the crash report gave me.

Let me give you the rundown first:

1st Shutdown:

1. Installed Win 7 Prof 64 bit on freshly formatted hard drive
2. Installed Drivers from motherboard cd (Biostar T5XE CFX-SLI)
3. Ran Windows update for awhile, restarted a few times, installed other programs
4. While browsing the net the pc shutdown and gave me a prompt upon startup with a "problem event name: bluescreen"

It also gave me the locations of a dump and a system file which I have included in the Shutdown #1 file.

2nd Shutdown:

1. After reviewing the error and searching the web I had read that it could be a possible heat issue, which didn't make sense as the first time I was just browsing the web. Idle the CPU is 30c and the GPU (SLI) is 40c for each card.
2. I downloaded the Unigine Heaven benchmark and ran it
3. PC shutdown in the middle of the benchmark and gave me different results in the post shutdown message. Files are in the Shutdown #2 file.

I used arctic silver on the cpu and on the gpu's. Everything is connected tightly and the only other thing installed is a wireless pci card which should have no problem. I used to use the exact same components on a gigabyte board (p55-usb3). The only reason I installed the Biostar Motherboard was to install another GTX 470 and run SLI. Everything seems normal as far as temps, the pc isn't slow, etc...I just decided to turn it off to avoid any possible damage and take the files I grabbed and post on a forum. This seemed like a good place to start. The sf diagnostic file is also attached. Thanks. (I labeled the shutdowns #1 and #2 just to make it easier...in total this happened 2 or 3 more times during senarios relating to shutdown #1.)

I appreciate the help.

Welcome aboard.

The First shutdown is due to CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT (101), for which you need to follow
STOP 0x101: CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT troubleshtg.

The second shutdown is due to VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE (116), for which you need to follow
STOP 0x116: VIDEO_TDR_ERROR troubleshooting.

Sa you have the latest display driver installed, the case is somehow common in both of those...

• Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark
• Install Speccy, monitor the system heat, including the graphics cards heat.
• Clean all the accumulated dust inside the computer.

Let us know the results.

jle7385, it is such a situation that you are to decide it yourself.

Do some trial and error, different permutation and combination ... you will come to know which hardware part or something else is causing the problem.

BTW, have you cleaned inside the computer, and updated the display driver already? I hope so.

I was only asking if anyone has ever had this be a problem caused by a sli bridge or if it would be possible. I look forward to your reply.

Most possible. It may happen.

But, sitting at a remote place, I cannot confirm it. If the card works good in your friends computer but acts otherwise in your computer, then it is not the fault of the card itself. So you may infer it.

Before being sure, check it one more time if possible.
