Hi, my computer continues to crashes when being used heavily.

A little more info from the user. He gets a black not blue screen, the fan speeds up, then 1 long beep and the pc shuts down.

See attached,

Thanks

Hello mac and welcome to Sevenforums!

Most of your BSODs seem to be caused by nvlddmkm.sys which is a driver for NVIDIA graphics card.

What graphics card do you have? If you don't know, you can visit GeForce autodetect:
Drivers | GeForce

After trying many different video card drivers, I ended up swapping video cards and its working fine now.

Thanks alot
