Back Again..Random BSOD's

[xxomegawpnxx]

I previously posted this http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-debugging/139382-random-bsods.html when this was last happening. Since then I had purchased a new video card. Same EVGA GTX 460 but this one is "SuperClocked" BSOD's started happening about 3 days ago. Is it really possible this new card is also bad? I've been running it fine for about 2 months now. As previously stated in last post Memtest86+ has been ran for over 10 passes (24 hours) with no errors. Nvidia gladly accepted my last GPU for an RMA saying it was a card "stability issue" but now im thinking it may be on my end. Please and thank you for the speedy responses like always.

Edit: Oh and also, all previously mentioned fixes have been ran including Driver Verifier.

You may try updating the graphics drivers:

nvlddmkm.sys    Fri Jul 09 17:15:58 2010 (4C37918E)

NVIDIA DRIVERS 266.58 WHQL

I see you have onboard graphics on your motherboard; try taking out the 460, and using the onboard graphics. That will show us if you have a problem with the GPU.

Took out the GPU. Thank you for the quick reply and will keep you posted on the status of the comp/ Another thought someone suggested is that the PSU isn't supplying enough power to the GPU and is thus causing it to burn out. Wondering what your opinion on that is.

 

[Jonathan_King]

The graphics card uses 160W; it seems you should be all set as far as power goes. I've used a power supply calculator, and being generous, I would suspect you need no more than a 500W PSU; your 600W PSU should do the trick, if it's in good condition. How old is the PSU?

A simple issue of underpowering won't cause a chip to burn out, although an otherwise faulty PSU could.

Well GPU is out of the question now. Just got another BSOD while using the onboard graphics. dump is attached.

I see Prime95 has not been run yet; please run all three tests: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/100352-cpu-stress-test-prime95.html

Install the latest BIOS from here: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support-

You can see the 1601 version "fixes system stability"; the 1702 BIOS obviously includes the 1601 changes and the new one.

I have not yet ran Prime95 since the fresh install of windows (one of the many failed fixes of the issue) I did flash my bios to 1702, and received a BSOD a couple hours later. I am running out of ideas.

 

[Jonathan_King]

Please run Prime95 and let us know the results. Prime95 is a torture testing program for the RAM and CPU.
