BSOD [Attempt to reset the display driver after timeout failed]
Hey guys, Hopefully I can get some help on this, I've recently acquired a used computer, to which I was told had been refurbished, well from the start I've had this one constant problem.
The computer would black out and simply shut down, sometimes giving me a BSOD, sometimes blacking out, music would still play for a few more seconds then stop, then the computer would either reboot or stay stuck until I manually reboot it, the BSOD is random as sometimes it doesn't happen, staying frozen on a black screen before rebooting or as mentioned above, until I reboot manually since it doesn't do that on some occassions.
On two occassions it has given me a clear BSOD screen, one other time it has given me a garbled weird screen that looked like a BSOD screen, on a last note regarding this, the space where it'd say that the computer is creating a dump report was garbled and writen in white and purple, I unfortunately don't have photos of the two weird screens however I'll leave attached the report compiled with the tool given by the admin on the BSOD Thread Posting Help, this computer was acquired yesterday, had been reformatted and the issue remains.
When I got it and saw the first issue, I checked my drivers, my graphics card was displayed as x300/550/1050 series (Microsoft WDDM) and had a driver, however thinking this was the issue I installed Vista drivers for the card from the ATI website and the issue remains. These issues happen at random, it can take an hour to 30 minutes or even 2 hours.
Thank you for your assistance, and sorry in advance for the wall of text
EDIT: I managed to snap a picture of one of the BSOD screens and will add it on here as more things to help establish what could be the error
EDIT #2 Gonna be posting my computer's specs down here :) Perhaps that can give a bigger image of what my build is and what the problem might be:
CPU: Intel Pentium D 925 3.00GHZ
Motherboard: Foxconn 662 7MA
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon X1050
RAM: 2x 1GB (One's manufacturer is "TeamGroup" the other's is "Transcend Information")
BIOS: Phoenix 6.00 PG
HDD: 160GB SATA
EDIT #3 When I turned on the computer after it had two more crashes, on bootup Windows gave me this message I shall leave here, additionally when running a game (ran GMod and it crashed 10 to 15 minutes in) or when running a 3D modelling software (Ran MMD, a software for 3D models) and it crashed not long after loading in a model, can this be linked to Graphics Card??? Here's what Windows told me:
