Currently using Nvidia GTS 250 and have retired my 5770 because I couldn't locate a single stable driver. I checked and used 2 different driver sweepers to make sure and drivers tied to that card were unistalled so it must be old information. I had run a elevated cmd with sfc.. but going through the logs I can concur that something is awry. Worse comes to worse I might need to do a fresh install.. I built the system in the early hours of the morning after a few shots of captain morgans bite.. and I think I had some kind of error during the installation but not sure.. I'll run the scan.. afterward if problems persist perhaps use the disc and attempt to repair a faulty installation?

Ran the scan and it said some problems could not be fixed. Left approx. 16 mb log file. So what are my options now.. fresh install?

I am installing a new motherboard later today which supports triple sli.. Plan on going with 3x EVGA GTS 250s.. which is the same as my main system

After intensive checking and re-checking it seems my problem stems from a poor installation of Windows 7. Which does happen... So with a fresh installation I'm pretty sure my problem should be solved.

If the SFC couldn't repair the then you could run a Repair install that should fix most of the problems. If that failed then you could perform a Clean install. Make sure you don't up that ATI card back in that is caused lot of crashes according to Event Logs. Also make sure you update your Logitech USB Keyboard.

Good Luck,

Solved the problem. Poor installation of Windows 7.

Should of took the hint earlier since I had a plethora of unrelated crashes and restarts. But hey, if computers were exact math then this part of the forum wouldn't exist.
