    I dont have the option to roll back my driver, mainly because i recently installed my windows and installed the latest nvidia driver.
    • Uninstall All nvidia items in Control Panel > Programs and features
      • 3D Vision Control Driver
      • 3D Vision Driver
      • Graphics Driver
      • HD Audio Driver
      • PhysX
      • nvidia Update

      (Are you using nvidia chipset drivers? If so, dont uninstall anything other than those are listed).
    • Now follow Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling
    • Boot normally now. Go to Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers, Download 306.23 WHQL. While installing, Select Custom (Advanced) install. In the next page, follow this settings:

    No, not that. Anything like this? Any red line at the test area?



    Have you altered the graphics driver? Have you updated the SSD firmware? Is there any more BSOD?

    No, nothing that scary. just the title was in red. Also i have an update on the situation. My computer does not crash if i am running only dota. I have 2 monitors connected to my graphics card, Dell(primary) and BenQ. If i am running videos on my BenQ monitor it crashes. Otherwise it seems to run fine if im just running Dota on my Dell monitor and other things like spotify, word, etc in my BenQ monitor.

    So it appears that the hardware is not being able to take the stress after a certain extent.

    Let it run within its limitations in this case.

    Ok, I recently had a lot of crashes. I updated windows with any updates it had left except the language packs. I think it updated my NVIDIA Graphics card as well (this was after the initial round of BSODS). Also, in an earlier reply you asked me if I was overclocking my CPU. Could that be the issue and is it possible to underclock?

    Overclocking, if failing, may cause a total instability. As you are getting BSODs, you should stop overclocking and run all the hardware components like CPU, GPU and RAM to their default settings. Also set the BIOS to default, too.
    How To Clear CMOS (Reset BIOS)

    Follow the method three: Clear the COMS by reseating the COMS battery.

    Let us know how it is running at default settings.
