BSOD - BCCode 116
Suddenly getting a BSOD upon trying to log on to Windows normally, BCCode 116. This is a very new installation of Windows 7 on a new hard drive (I was here recently with issues with my old one ), so I doubt my Windows installation has anything to do with it.
Immediately upon finding out 116 was video-related, I uninstalled all nVidia drivers (the last time Windows Update was allowed to run, the individual who did it selected the video drivers from the optional section.. which installed both the 3D Vision and HD Audio drivers, both of which are useless and cause problems in a lot of cases) and did a fresh, clean install of JUST the video driver.
Again, when logging on to Windows normally, I instantly get a BSOD instead of the logon screen. Video signal cuts off like there was a driver failure (how it sometimes occurs while Windows is running, but fixes itself and blinks back on), I see the "No Signal" message on my monitor, and then the BSOD flashes by.
In any event, here is the zip file from the SF Diagnostic Tool. Thanks for looking!

I fear my video card may have just died on me. It's gotten -heavy- use all these years (it's an EVGA Superclocked GTX570) and has been a real trooper.
Also worth noting, aside from a fresh installation of the newest drivers (the ones I mentioned that were installed via Windows Update were done days before this happened), I also tried removing the PCIe power connections from the video card and tried different cables, in different sockets on my PSU; same results, sadly.
