Recently purchased an Nvidia GTX 580 SC (Superclocked) Edition to upgrade from an old 460 to help future-proof my system. After inserting the card and installing drivers everything worked fine, until running any somewhat demanding games, in which I would either stall into a complete frozen state or get a bsod with the kernel_data_inpage_error. This happened with another card that I ordered as well (but to be fair that card was actually faulty, opting for regular black screen crashes, but it also gave me the kernel_data_inpage_error)
PC Specs:
AMD Phenom II X4 925 Processor ~2.8GHz
8GB of Patriot 1600 RAM
MSI 970A-G46 Motherboard
1 TB Seagate HDD
880W Cool Power Gamer Series PSU (Pretty cheap PSU, but I don't think it's the problem)
Before I installed this card, the 460 made the computer work perfectly with no errors, but I don't want to think straight away that it's a faulty card, but that something is wrong with my system since it's done it on two cards. I tried memtest86 and left it on overnight and got 7 passes with no errors, GPU fan is on max so it isn't overheating, case has decent airflow with 3 fans, used chkdsk with no luck. I really didn't know what else to try so I decided to post here for the first time. Also the bluescreens don't show on BlueScreenView so I can't post those results. Thanks for reading all this.
Edit: Managed to pick up two of the crashes from BlueScreenViewer, and suprisingly they were two different crashes, one being the kernel_data_inpage_error (caused by ntoskrnl.exe and ataport.sys), and the other being a critical_process_died (caused by ntoskrnl.exe) Hope this helps at all.
Edit: Uninstalled Windows 8 to Windows 7, solved my issue for awhile, now it's back in a different way. Instead of BSOD it just crashes to a black screen, and doesn't reboot. Have to turn the PSU switch to off, let it sit and then turn it back on for the computer to restart. I can usually play games for a bit, but it seems like certain things trigger the crash. I tried to play Red Faction: Armageddon, and it would run perfectly at the start. I could run around for an hour and it wouldn't crash, but when I go to break the wall to move forward it crashes the second I hit the wall. On WoW it worked for forever until I started a cutscene. Have the GPU fan as high as it can go and it sits at 52 degrees. Maybe a PSU problem now?
