Hello!

I have been expiriencing problems with my computer which are as follows:
I do my thing on the computer (surf, play etc.) and suddently my screen goes black. It has been doing this for about a week now, and I received my new SSDs recently so I popped them in, put them in RAID-0 and reinstalled windows, hoping that a complete reinstall would fix it. But it didnt. I updated my graphics card driver and analyzed the minidumps this BSOD created.

So its most probably caused by my graphics card driver, which is the most recent. It did the same thing with older drivers.

--SYSTEM INFO--
Attachment contains prefmon analysis and some dumps.

- x86 (32-bit) or x64 ?
--x64--
- the original installed OS on the system?
--Custom built PC--(I assembled it myself)
- an OEM or full retail version?
--FULL RETAIL WIN 7 ULT FIN x64
- What is the age of system (hardware)?
--2 months--
- What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?)
--1 day--

It's an i5 build with the nVidia GTX 460. Corsair RAM (8gb).
Power supply is 500W.

Any help is welcome!

Is better though to upload here your bsod folder :)

http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-debugging/96879-blue-screen-death-bsod-posting-instructions.html

In meantime,

Download and install the Driver Sweeper

Download the most recent software\driver for your NVIDIA

Uninstall nvidia software\driver,restart in safe mode,run driver sweeper and clean any nvidia remaining fragments,restart in normal mode.

Install the new nvidia software\driver.

Update DirectX.

Then read carefully this tutorial and run http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/160729-nvidia-video-card-test-occt.html

Post here the results.
---------------------------
A PSU update is also a good idea.
