Win7 Ultimate BSOD - possibly nForce driver issue?
Hi. I'm trying to figure out what is causing my Windows 7 partition to crash to BSOD every few hours. I'm thinking it has nForce driver issues with my Asus P5N-e SLI.
I've included my dxdiag and a zipped folder of my minidumps.
I've noticed that several times it has crashed and given a reference to a networking driver or application.
Any help, greatly appreciated! If it is an nForce driver issue, anyone know of a driver set that works? Or even a bios update? I am reluctant to update the bios, since it was working perfectly well with my XP partition.
I've also noticed that in Windows 7 my video card is somewhat unstable. It doesn't cause BSOD but the driver does fail and the screen freezes for a moment and then comes back. It's only when I'm playing a game with a high resolution (ie Dragon Age: Origins). I'm guessing that this is a separate issue with my Geforce 8800GT - I figure it's not working well with the Win7 drivers and directx 11.
I just tried running my geforce with new drivers in Dragon Age. I was running my Geforce with the latest drivers (195.39) and tried several others. I heard that 182.50 was the most stable for now, so I just tried that and it seems to be running the game ok, but performance isn't as good as with newer drivers...but at least that problem is marginally solved for now.
