BSODs when playing games.
Alright heres the story. Built this new computer a few months back. Have had problems with it from the start unfortunately. I would go into a game and then it would crash pretty soon after. I narrowed this down to my memory. I ran memtest on each stick and found that one of them had errors. So I rma'ed that set back. The ram was set up using the manufacturers timings. But on this first set I wasn't able to be stable at 1600. It would only run at 1066 stable.
Since I was out my ram I went ahead and sent in my evga motherboard for the stepup since I was still within the 90 day window. So I get everything back and first thing I do is check the ram again. It passes of course. Another thing is I'm able to run the ram at 1600 stable. But now I'm still getting the BSOD's except its occuring after a greater period time then before. For instance everything seems normal in the game and then it starts slowing down almost like its lagging then I get a BSOD. If I don't start up a game I don't get the bluescreens. They have occured while trying to play WoW, Dirt 2, and GTA IV. The video card is running the latest version of ati drivers. I used driver sweeper prior to installing them. Included are my recent minidumps.
I'm starting to think it could be my videocard maybe.
