Hello,

I upgraded from my motherboard graphics to a full graphics card about a month ago. For the first few weeks everything was fine, but now it's bluescreening once every few hours. The specific bluescreen errors are all over the place, no pattern. The bluescreens stopped as soon as I removed the card. At first I thought I got a bum graphics card, but I tried swapping it out for a friend's card and the bluescreens came right back. I'm using the latest non-beta version of Catalyst (13.12). Memtest cleared 5 passes with no errors. How should I go about further diagnostics?

Specs follow:
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87X-UD5H-CF
CPU: Intel Core i7 4770K
PSU: Seasonic 660W
Video: MSI R7850 Twin Frozr OC
Memory: G.Skill 4x8GB
Storage: Samsung 840 Pro SSD

Try this software to uninstall the GPU driver than reinstll it, because the PSU is good and the HD7850 draws low power. http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/display_driver_unin...
Also do you OC the i7? If yes, try to unclock a little bit maybe oc too much.

Thanks for your reply, I'll try that when I can. My CPU is not overclocked (yet).
