Hello zeeqreco, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Please read the instructions here: Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions, and post back with the needed information. One of our BSOD experts should be by afterwards to further help.

The zip you uploaded does not contain any crash dump.

Follow it: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/174459-dump-files-configure-windows-create-bsod.html
Go to Option Two, Point 2. Download the .reg file and merge it in registry by double clicking it.

Now wait for another BSOD. When it occurred, search the .dmp files manually in the default path: C:\Windows\Minidump or %SystemRoot%\Minidump. See if the crash dump is recorded or not (hopefully it will be recorded).Post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.
Dont run any sort of disc clenup program before you upload another zip.

Anyway, we are seeing stop 0x116 and stop 0x9C from other data; and some storage controller failure.

Install Service pack 1 and all other windows updates. Otherwise the system will remain vulnerable to threats.

You are using 331.65 WHQL display driver. Use the 331.82 WHQL, get it from http://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-cards/602-latest-nvidia-forceware-video-drivers-windows-7-a.html.

Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.

Check if the Power Supply Unit (PSU) supplying adequate power to the computer or not.
eXtreme Power Supply Calculator
Let us know the wattage of the PSU, too.

Is the computer hot? Report us the heat of the computer after a couple of hours of your normal usage. Upload a screenshot of the summery tab of Speccy. Alternatively, you can publish a Speccy snapshot too: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/311593-speccy-publish-snapshot-your-system-specs.html .

Scan the system for possible virus infection with the following programs.

• Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller
• Windows Defender Offline

Do some Disc checks.

1. Reseat the sata and power. If possible, Change the SATA cable, and apply the cable to an unused port on the motherboard.
   
   
2. Run chkdsk /f/r, following the option two of the tutorial Disk Check
3. Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for Windows: test the HDD.

Let us know the results.

This BSOD is another stop 0x116. So another display failure. And what we have till now .....

1. Furmark passed.
2. System is cool enough.
3. Power supply is sufficient.
4. Display driver is the latest.

So, on which display may fail? Only one thing about the system that may be said at this time, that is the display driver. Lately we have noticed that teh newer versions of the display driver is causing some issues in some systems. In that situation we should try a known good earlier version.

Install the NVIDIA DRIVERS 314.22WHQL only.

• Uninstall All nvidia items in Control Panel > Programs and features
  • 3D Vision Control Driver
  • 3D Vision Driver
  • Graphics Driver
  • HD Audio Driver
  • PhysX
  • nvidia Update
  (Are you using nvidia chipset drivers? If so, dont uninstall anything other than those are listed).
• Now follow Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling
• Download 314.22 WHQL. While installing, Select Custom (Advanced) install. In the next page, follow this settings:
  
  

Let us know how the computer is working with this particular driver version.

Blue screen still happens after i installed the older version driver... and this time it happened while playing Dota 2 there are green stripes on screen then it freezes and restart is required... does dirty card make it run unstable(Dust)? and i need to change the HDD and graphic card?

 

[Arc]

Yes, dirty cards can make it unstable. If there is dust allocation inside the computer, dismantle it. Clean everything inside, but very carefully. Clean the air vents and fan grills so that it can blow the hot air out easily.

While re-seating, apply new thermal paste to the CPU.



Also change the SATA cables etc.

Does it make the situation any better?

 

[zeeqreco]

After 2 weeks... it have resurrected to haunt me once again

can i clean my computer internal using a hair dryer without the heat?

 

[Arc]

So you havent done it?

The BSODs will continue to occur in this case.

Yes, you may use air to clean the dust, but not a vacuum cleaner.
