Hey guys,

Firstly my specs.

Motherboard: Asus M5A99X EVO (Not the Rev 2.0 one)
Processor : AMD FX-6200 Six Core (Bulldozer)
Videocard: Asus AMD HD 7870 2 GB Direct CU II (Its the standard version i believe)
Memory: 16 GB Corsair CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9
Power: OCZ Modstream Pro 700 W
(If you need other specs, just ask noting the ones that matter for now)

And now the problem(s)

At first this pc was running fine, i switched out the Videocard a few months ago (Previously had a GTX 550 Ti) which i swapped with an AMD for increased performance and better harmony with my processor and AMD Chipset.
As of late things have been going downhill, starting with Borderlands 2 (The game would crash and occasional BSOD's) now i know this is a common issue, an FX Processor with steam is a pretty common problem. Though i didn't have problems in with it previously it worked fine i even finished Borderlands 2, now i got Bioshock Infinite and its gotten even worse.
I cant play the damn game, it keeps crashing and BSODing on me.
And on top of that its no longer limited to steam games either, Starcraft 2 Crashed on me too the other day.

I've done the windows Memtest which showed no errors, i've scanned my hard drive for errors, and found none.
Dont think my GPU is overheating, i've seen 85 Celsius tops.

If you guys have any suggestions that might help, you would really help a brother out!

Thanks,

Centurias

I would check your programs & features list for any sign of Nvidia drivers and uninstall them first off.
