Win 7 BSOD

[Slendermang]

Hello, I'm getting a ton of BSOD's (50 since 2 weeks). It doesnt actually goto the blue screen it just freezes. I have a hunch it has to do with shoddy ATI drivers.

- x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? 64 Bit - the original installed OS on the system? No - an OEM or full retail version? Full Retail - OEM = came pre-installed on system - Full Retail = you purchased it from retailer - What is the age of system (hardware)? 06 Hardware - What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) 2 weeks ago.
Thanks for help.

These were all caused by hardware

Your .dmp file shows a stop error of 0x124 which is a general hardware error .

A "stop 0x124" is fundamentally different to many other types of bluescreens because it stems from a hardware complaint.

Stop 0x124 minidumps contain very little practical information, and it is therefore necessary to approach the problem as a case of hardware in an unknown state of distress.

How To Find Drivers:

- search Google for the name of the driver
- compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
- visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
- if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.

my psu outputs 220w and my gpu needs 400w could this cause crashes?

Those are the latest drivers for my system btw. I've had a stable W7 running before.

Yes. Can you get a different video card that doesn't require so much power? Or a larger PSU?
