I've built a rig and previously posted on the forums about troubleshooting my BSOD's:

I've replaced the psu with a nice, silent OCZ 1000W psu and after the first 15 mins of gaming (Skyrim) I get a freaking BSOD. Followed by more while watching a movie. I windowed skyrim and watched my gpu and the temp went to 44C and stayed there but then I got another BSOD. Here is my .dmp file per 'whocrashed'

I dont know what other thermal issue there is. Well, I'd installed the latest NVIDIA driver 331 (actually 331.xx but I dont know since I just uninstalled it) and am going through and uninstalling everything nvidia even the hd audio, then I'm gonna find a pre-314 driver to install per instructions. Is this right? My other question is: does NVIDIA now suck?! I never would've invested in a gtx 690 if I knew how terrible nvidia's software had become, and I've been using a 560 Ti with no trouble.
I've even tried to disable one of the 690's in my card since I hear SLI causes issues but this just disables the card so I didnt even try to game on it.
