HI
, getting BlackSoD when playing BF3 ,and Planetside2. has been happening on/off while using the ATI 13.1 beta and 13.1 ATI drivers, .
Trying 12.10 ATI drivers now, to stop Blacksod,
I also used Synapse 2.0 updating Razer mouse, around the same time, after which small vertical bars of lines, would replace my normal mouse pointer. Synapse 2.0 removed from PC, switched to legacy razer drivers.

Games have run well in the past, on ultra settings. , blacksod problem first started when upgrading to ATI driver 13. ? beta, and letting Razer's Synapse 2.0 mouse, update.

current ATI is 12.10

Notes:
PSU & amps; the 12 vote rail, not working for BF3 , can be an issue, how to test. ?
Have run graphics benchmarks today, at highest level no problems.
Ran a quick memtest , only for 4 runs, and 3 runs, different days, no errors

using AMD Radeon HD 6900, in list above now. and yes the temp was at idle at desktop , usually with coretemp running the temp is 35c to 40c, sits around 37c. If it's high it not for long. have five fans.

Here are some error reports, All except the SFC details.txt are from last nights BlackSOD while playing Planetside2 after two hours.

These System events , txt reports , have not been logged before . Meaning , BlackSOD would happen , BUT PC would not shows any reports, So at least NOW , I'm getting some Feedback of WIN 7. :), before nothing. Still using ATI 12.10 drivers.

SFCdetails are files that are missing, after doing a SFC / Scannow, that I cannot find on the WIN7 setup disk. I think this is why the Compatibility Report say I can upgrade, that is re-install win7 while keeping all my files.

Have a look at TXT and tell me if you know why I'm getting Black SOD.

If the only soultion is to Re-install windows then finding the files missing in SFC detail would be A BIG HELP. As I do not want to do a Clean install but an upgrade.

GO here to see files ,as this forums setup is confusing , and can't find how to upload , and running out of time. http://www.smartestcomputing.us.com/topic/60730-black-screen-of-death-or-black-gaming-screen-of-death/page-2#entry223294
