I have been getting the BSOD the past week.
Previously I got the BSOD that was caused by the GPU, I replace my GPU with a new one. But I am getting the BSOD again. Windows is saying it an unexpected error and PC checkup is saying it is a bugcheck problem
I regularly scan my PC for malware/virus
If my dump file is missing something, I'll dump it again
I appreciates any help.
I have not reinstalled windows. I got an OEM windows so I am not sure if it is even possible to reinstall windows.
I got the new GPU about a month ago and the BSOD only started a week ago. For the GPU, I uninstalled the old drivers, installed the card, and then the new driver.
Follow steps on this tutorial: Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7
Let us know if you still get bsods after the clean install.
Before I consider reinstalling windows. Does the dump file say what the cause of the BSOD may be?
Also I have a dell PC, but I am not sure what those special notes at the bottom in your link is saying.
They blame your video card/video drivers again. So I was thinking a clean install of the OS would be a good option since you added new hardware.
You can ignore the notes there if they are unrelated to your issue.
The weird thing is in the past I used AMD and got the BSOD. Then I switched to Nvidia and I had no problems. Now I switched back to AMD and started getting problems again. So I was wondering maybe the current AMD drivers are causing the problem.
I will try to restore my PC to factory setting and install the newest drivers. Hopefully it solves the issues and I won't need to reinstall windows.
