I recently bought a 109 dollar HIS Radeon HD 7750 graphics card, brand new, from newegg.com. I plugged it into my motherboard, turned on my computer, inserted the driver installation disk, and proceeded to download the driver. It started to download, and then froze completely for about 2 seconds before giving me the BSOD with the following specs:
Bug check string: PNP_DETECTED_FATAL_ERROR.
Bug Check Code: 0x000000ca.
Parameter 1: 00000000`0000000b.
Parameter 2: fffffa80`05794a10.
Parameter 3: 00000000`00000001.
Parameter 4: 00000000`00000000.
Caused By Driver: ntoskrnl.exe.
Caused By Address: ntoskrnl.exe+7cc80.
Full Path: C:\Windows\Minidump\042612-36551-01.dmp.
I need to know what's up with my computer. Is the graphics card not right for it possibly?
You are getting a kernel fault that is more typically software related than hardware if you could get that file out of c:\windows\minidump , zip and upload here I could get a bit more info from that.
