Over the last few months, maybe longer, my girlfriends computer has been getting increasingly more BSOD errors. I've looked up all the stop codes and they're all graphics related. I've uninstalled and completely reinstalled her drivers with the newest ones and that didn't work, I also tried installing a slightly older version and same thing. It's a custom built machine (Not built by me), but I know the GPU is the GeForce 7300 GS. I was wondering if I replacing the GPU sounds like it could fix the issue?

Not sure on the temp, I know the fan still spins, whether or not it's still any good I have no idea.

Edit: I also know it can't be running too hot for most of the crashes, because we're just watching videos when it crashes.



Don't...

besides the video card it could also be a problem with the PSU or HDD.

check the hard drive for errors

Ok. I changed the GPU in her computer, we'll see if that fixes the problem, otherwise i'll try your solution.
