    Computer Crashes when under heavy load


    Hi, my computer continues to crashes when being used heavily.

    A little more info from the user. He gets a black not blue screen, the fan speeds up, then 1 long beep and the pc shuts down.

    See attached,

    Thanks

    Hello mac and welcome to Sevenforums! :)

    Most of your BSODs seem to be caused by nvlddmkm.sys which is a driver for NVIDIA graphics card.

    What graphics card do you have? If you don't know, you can visit GeForce autodetect:

    Thanks. I will play around with the drivers. Are you seeing anything else other than the video card driver causing this?
