BSOD Quite sure its GPU, or GPU Driver. Need Help.

[v0 HaVoK 0v]

I've been getting a lot of BSOD's lately, this happened after newly installing a GPU, Mobo, PSU, and CPU.
I'm not good at this debugging, so I was wondering, could I upload the files somewere for someone to help me figure it out?
This is really frustrating, because there all new parts at one time, so I can't really tell, but the reason I think its the GPU is because, lately I have been getting a lot of "Driver stopped responding and recovered successfully, from my GPU.
Thanks for any replies.

My System:
Windows 7 64bit
AMD Phenom ii x4 965 @ 3.80GHz
ASRock 970 Extreme3
Asus Radeon HD 6870 DirectCU
Corsair GS800 800 watt

Ok.

Ok.

My GPU doesn't support Cuda so I can't Memtest, But I can do the first test.
I'm doing it on 1920 x 1080 for 1 hour.

 

[v0 HaVoK 0v]

Ok.

Ok, here is the results it gave me (In the Attachment).
I couldn't do the memtest as my GPU doesn't support Cuda.

Well, its 1:30pm right now, and I don't want to keep you waiting, so I guess I just stay away from the computer today and let it run.

 

[v0 HaVoK 0v]

OK, sorry for taking a while to reply, I went away yesterday and forgot all about starting the test.
But I started it today, so far its went for 5 hours, its on pass 3, and 0 errors.

 

[v0 HaVoK 0v]

Ok, now I'm done, 0 errors. Any other ideas to what it might be?

 

[panais]

How many passes?

 

[v0 HaVoK 0v]

How many passes?

7 passes.

 

[v0 HaVoK 0v]

I redone the test again last night, this time on pass 2 it got a error, its currently on pass 7.

Seems like either a bad RAM configuration in the BIOS or defective RAM.

May want to see if you need a better PSU. I ran into random BSODs with a few of the newer games and it came down to huge power draws when everything (ram, gpu, cpu) started ramping up and it turns out my Seasonic 1000W isn't quite up to the task.

Some of this is due to poorly optimized software that make the cards work a little harder than they should have to but either way the only real fault was miscalculating how much power I would need.

I thought (and so did everyone else) that a 1000 Watt Seasonic would be fine and it usually is.

I have found that when you have multiple GPUs ramping up on games (SWTOR is one, it makes full use of CPU multicores) designed to take full advantage of modern GPU (and other modern, high end components) features that takes a big bite out of the power budget.

My video peak draw (not overclocked) is between 600 and 700 watts alone.

On top of that I have a CPU that can draw 130 Watt when under full load (not overclocked) which does not leave a whole lot of power left out of 1000 watts for the rest of what is on my system (multiple spin and SSD drives, power hungry feature rich motherboard and 64 GB of ram, array of USB devices and optical drive).
