BSOD even after fresh format and install

prza · 24 Jan 2010

Hi , In summer 09 i upgraded everything but my PSU and GPU due to some bits of my PC getting damaged in transit.
I installed win7x64 and ever since I have had problems. I used to get problems when playing Heroes of Newerth with random game crashes and exits. Then i started to get bluescreens which were apparently being caused by AVG. I uninstalled AVG and started getting BSOD which were apparently caused by ATI GPU drivers.
So... i reformatted and gave a fresh install of Windows and have started getting blue screens again after I started playing Fallout3. Also, sometimes the screen will freeze but I can still hear people talking on voice coms etc so i get the impression the system is still running (this also happend before the reformat and install).

Please help , this has been annoying me for ages now.

Much thanks , prza

Hi and welcome

These two probably caused by your video driver.
I would
un-installl it and re-install a fresh copy

Run a system file check
type cmd in search>right click and run as admin>sfc /scannow

if the BSOD's continue we can get more aggressive.

Thanks a lot for the reply. i actually only just installed fresh drivers yesterday from ATI and have since had a few BSODs.

I ran the file check and have included the generated report.
Im starting to think it might be time for a new GPU.

Hope we can sort this out , and thanks again.
