Random BSOD, Stop Code 116, Sapphire Toxic Radeon HD 6950
I've had this PC for about..... Six months? The 116 BSODs started about two weeks of getting the PC up and running. As far as I can tell there is no discernable pattern to what triggers them, I only have the crash dumps and a persistent indicator that it is maybe a driver problem.
At first I thought the PC was overheating or at least the graphic card. So I downloaded and installed AIDA64 in order to monitor the temperatures. And it idles around lower 40s C and jumps to mid to high 60s under load. Well within the specs I've seen. So I gave it a nice hose down with a can of compressed air to get out what dust may be there, no dust as I try to keep it dust free.
So I kept the catalyst driver up to date currently she is running the 12.3 version. Odd thing though the problem went away briefly when 12.1 was released and showed up again about a few weeks ago.
I have all the crash dumps from my minidump folder including the one from today. If theres anything else I should include with it just let me know.
The most recent crash dump:
