BSOD when idle or gaming HD6670 .rar attached

Razorback91 · 11 Dec 2012

Hi there, these last couple of days i've been experiencing BSOD intermittently. this happens whether gaming or just browsing in chrome.

I thought it might have been my GPU overheating so i ran MSi afterburner but the temp's when idling were 35-40, however, when the issue starts (really bad screen lag then complete lockup, all audio sticks then BSOD) the temps were fine but the GPU usage would spike too 100%.

Booting to safe mode i uninstalled all ATI drivers and ran regcure and driversweeper then performed a full scan with malwarebytes to check for virus etc, i then removed my GPU from the mobo and ran with integrated graphics and it worked fine.

I left the computer unplugged from the mains for a good half hour then put the card back in and installed the latest drivers all it worked fine and i was playing arkham asylum without any issues, i tabbed out to check facebook and when i tabbed in again my usb gamepad was not responding, so i pulled it out and replugged then... BSOD, although it was a different one this time but i couldn't catch what it said...

my system specs

windows 7 ultimate 32 bit
i3 540
ATI HD 6670
4GB ram
1 TB HDD

MSE is recommended from a strict BSOD perspective, compatibility & stability compared to other antiviruses/internet security software:-

The issue with my card seems like it was just a driver conflict, since i reinstalled it hasn't happened. I updated windows and i removed the usb drivers and followed the instructions in both tutorials you posted and my gamepad has been fine.

I ran the file checker and disk check after the first BSOD and all was fine :)

I'm sure it was simply the display driver and the gamepad driver, thanks for all your help :)
