BSOD after buying new HDD (ntoskrnl.exe & nvlddmkm.sys)
First of all I really do apologize if I've created a similar thread to other users, I'll be browsing the forum tomorrow at work.
The last few days have been extremely annoying, I've had weird crashes and BSOD's. One crash was so bad it resulted in my (old) HDD (OCZ SSD) being unable to see itself in Windows setup when I tried to reformat it.
I put it down to being a bad HDD so today I bought a new one (sandisk SSD).
Installed it, fine, installed windows fine, drivers etc. and after installing a few such as Video and soundcard it gave me a BSOD which was: ntoskrnl.exe+80640.
Didn't think too much of it, driver conflict or whatever... started playing a game.
20 mins into the game the BOOM another one: nvlddmkm.sys+1da976.
I don't think it's my HDD this time, as it's brand new and bluescreenview is pointing me towards a driver issue, probably video.
This is what I have tested so far WITHOUT any issues reported:
Memtest x86 over night
updated DirectX
running latest Nvidia drivers
I haven't had a chance to complete the video card test (OCCT) just the RAM option and reported no errors.
If anyone has had same issue please point me in the right direction as this is really annoying!!
I have uploaded the 2 crash dumps reported by windows.
