Good evening all,
I've been troubleshooting this for months...
This BSOD has been mostly random, but can be more often reproduced during act transitions in Diablo III, although it seems to have thrown it less often recently. Sometimes it can happen after browsing in chrome or watching videos online, where square artifacts will appear, and it will black screen then blue screen. White horizontal lines are sometimes present on reboot but if I safely restart before booting all the way, I can have a clean boot with no artifacts, and then likely have a few hours of use or more.
Through endless browsing of other threads, I seem to have narrowed it down to either the PSU or my GTX 580 being faulty. I've tried testing out the GTX 580 for a while in games and watching videos simultaneously in a friend's machine with a Corsair 850W TX vs. my Thermaltake 850W and it was doing perfectly for a bit, but there are days where I can do that on my machine as well with no issues. I did switch the cables to the auxiliary ports on my PSU going to the card instead of the ones coming out from inside the PSU -- this seemed to help marginally. I've toyed with all sorts of drivers, the most stable being 314.22.
EVGA rejected my attempt at a RMA, so before I buy a new PSU hoping it's not the card, if someone could analyze the attached report alongside my listed system specs, I would appreciate that greatly!
Thanks so much for your time,
David
