    Sorry not to reply for so long, but: good news!

    I had one crash shortly after my previous post and none since in the last week, including while playing a lot of Civ 5 on the weekend. So, as weird as it seems to me that the remnants of something I thought I'd uninstalled years ago would act up now and cause this much trouble...I think that was it.

    I'm going to wait until next week to mark this solved, just in case, but thanks a lot for your help!

    Good to know everything seems to be worked out!

    Hotspotshield can be a real pain in the rear. Mark this thread as solved. If you have another BSOD you can create a new thread.

    Good luck!

I believe the initial crash was caused by overheating. Based on the fact that I have gotten it to work for a short amount of time, more on that later. Booting up with the drivers for my graphics card enabled causes BSOD to appear but when it is disabled everything is fine. I can boot into safe...

Hi guys, I'm having to replace my current mb, (Asus M4A88T-V EVO) with another, Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 970. I have a few questions before I buy it. 1. The mb I am using has onboard gfx although I use a gfx card, the new one doesn't. What would happen if the gfx card failed would I be able to...
