So I have been getting a lot of crashes recently.

I just bought a new hard drive because my old one was giving me problems.
Reinstalled windows 7 (64-Bit)
Installed drivers and everything.

I honestly think my card is overheating since there is absolutely no cooling what so ever in my case.

I opened up the panel and have a fan on the highest speed blowing cool air into the open panel.

But I think my card is overheating.

Please give me details on this blue screen and I would love to have this fixed as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance,
Cherry

You're using driver version 326.41 which is in the BETA stage.


Roll back your drivers to a more stable release, I suggest 314.22.

Download | 314.22
When installing select Custom Settings (Advanced) and uncheck:
  • 3D Vision (all of them).
  • HD Audio.
  • Nvidia Updates.
  • Don't install Geforce Experience.
  • Do check Preform a clean installation.

Now as for your lack of cooling:

Download Speccy and post a screenshot.

  • One while idle.
  • Second while under load.

Launch Speccy and let it sit at the desktop, while playing a game for 20 odd minutes or so tab out and take a screenshot.

I started crashing again after reinstalling the drivers.

I even updated to 320.49 drivers.

I think it's my graphics card now.

Also upload a new scan of SFDT.

You didn't follow my suggestion about posting Speccy's summary window.

Now as for your lack of cooling:

Download Speccy and post a screenshot.

  • One while idle.
  • Second while under load.
-========================-



RAM is a possible culprit.

  • Follow this tutorial about Memtest 86+.
  • The test is an overnight test, let it go through 8 consecutive passes.
   Note
Pay close attention to Part 3 of the tutorial is errors are found.
