I have recently built a gaming pc, and ever since I built it and installed the proper Nvidia drivers for my GPU, it has gotten the BSOD. I havent gotten the chance to take a picture of it, but it has happened many times so i dont have all the information from the BSOD but i do have some things that windows showed me after it rebooted. What makes me wonder is that ever since i tried playing something on it for the first time, it had gotten the BSOD, and then yesterday, and before yesterday, the system ran smoothly and I didn't get not one error or a random shutdown with BSOD all day for those 2 days.. On a side note, I have also checked device manager for maybe some clue of whats going on, but the only things that seem to be with a yellow exclamation mark is my Bus controller and my Ethernet controller. I don't know what those are, but I have tried to update them, but i can't find where to get the drivers.

I honestly have no clue what is going on, because before it made me think it was my gpu, but for 2 days straight it ran fine. Then now it started doing it again, and on some rare occasions following the BSOD i will also get it during the startup.

All of what has happened has gotten me to a conclusion that its probably my memory, but since it has been happening in so many different occasions, Im not sure.

This is the message windows gave me once when it restarted after a BSOD:

Solution
make sure the ram set to xmp profile. boot off a boot disk run memtest86 to check your ram. run hardware monitor to check your temps. I would make sure that the drivers are installed right first then run some diags test on the ram and system. it looks like you bought some good parts so there should not be any issues unless you got a bad part.

Are you sure that's it though? I mean I installed most of those drivers but not all of them when i first got the computer together..

Alright I'll try those, but looking at this, what do you think might be my problem? Do you think its a software related issue or hardware ?
