Had 10 BSOD 0x000000116 in the last 3 days and I'm freaking out :(
This all started a few days ago when playing Torchlight 2, my computer black screened and my GPU fan ramped up to 100% or what sounded like it.
I checked the code(278) and found out it was something to do with the display adapter. So I did a clean install of my 670's drivers. Had it happen again a day later playing DotA2.
I then called EVGA assuming it was my GPU, they did some basic troubleshooting and deemed it to be my PSU's +12v, saying they were too low, they advised me to not use my computer for gaming until I got a new PSU.
Well, I called my PSU company and while they seemed skeptical they sort of agreed that my voltages seemed low and were fluctuating too much, granted this was just checked with BIOS and Speedfan not a MM.
Well while awaiting the PSU which should come tomorrow, I have had another 8 of these crashes. Most have occurred while watching streams on twitch.tv. I had one "Windows Failed to Start" error, and then another crash while Adobe Air was open.
Thing is when these new crashes are occurring Speedfan isn't showing low voltages, Precision isn't showing high GPU temps, my CPU temps are low.
All my system specs are stock, as well, nothing was messed with or overclocked.
I'm starting to think it may actually be my GPU. I tried checking my RAM with Windows Memory Diagnostic(I have no clue how accurate it is) and it showed no problems there.
I've had this computer for 10 months, I haven't had any issues with it til 3 days ago. Before the 1st crash I had been using the 314.22 Drivers from Nvidia for 3 weeks without and issue as well.
I haven't got a crash just using the computer on the internet. Or browsing files.
I have had 2 crashes opening up Firefox for the first time after reinstalling Drivers, but disabling Hardware Acceleration seemed to fix that.
I don't know what to do, I'm beyond whatever limited capabilities I have for troubleshooting
Any help would be greatly appreciated, cause I don't know what to do atm. I don't know if it's actually the PSU not providing enough voltage to the GPU as they said, I don't know if it's actually my GPU which I first thought, I don't know if it's some sort of driver issue. I'm just really lost here.
I included the stuff the FAQ said, hopefully I did it correctly. Although the one dump file seems dated 3 days earlier and I don't know if it has all of the crashes on it. I included the Event Viewer logs of them, I don't know if that helps or not.
I ran the sfc scannow as well it found no problems.
Anyhoo, I appreciate any help anyone can offer me, thanks again.
