BSOD on start up, atikmdag.sys, dxgkrnl.sys, dxgmms1.sys

Have you performed the stress test for the graphics card? What is the result?

And, what is the new temps?

As a test, try the onboard graphics for a few days and observe it that crash recurs or not. When Vir Granus says anything, it is a fact to be taken I think.

ISuffice to say, I do reckon your graphics card is bad, notably the internal GPU scheduler. That or there's a power supply problem. I recommend replacing the graphics card first before bringing attention to the PSU. While I am unfamiliar of Thortech brand PSUs, I would assume from the pricing as well as the 80PLUS Gold cert on it that isn't built cheap. Nevertheless, there's always the chance for a PSU to start bugging out all of a sudden, so do not rule it out, though prioritize the graphics card first.

Look in the bios should be under integrated devices .

Thanks arc, i havent run stress test yet. Have a few things to finialize for uni first.
How do i switch to the onboard? just remove current graphics card?

Disconnect the VGA/DVI/HDMI cable from GPU's end and connect it to motherboard's slot.

Good to know :)
Any more BSOD in between?
