Two days ago, I installed a new GPU to my system, an overclocked Gigabyte GTX 650 TI, and installed all of the latest drivers (340.52). Then last night I had a blue screen of death (Bad_Pool_Header) and then last night I had another blue screen of death (Memory_Management), I tried installing Windows debugger but failed to install right away, so I am unsure of what are in the dump files if I could even understand them anyway. If anyone could tell me how to attach a file to a thread, then I could post the dump files if that helps. Event Viewer tells me that "Windows has rebooted from a bugcheck," for both instances. I have had random BSODs in the past that ended up being isolated events, but since I have had two in the last two days right after installing a new GPU, I am more inclined to think that these are not isolated events. Anyone's help will be greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately, I have to report some more bad news. After a couple of more BSODs and game crashes, I re-installed the OS completely (something I seem to have to do too often) and as I was installing the video driver on the freshly installed OS, I got another BSOD, so I am now almost 100% sure it is a hardware problem, maybe the video card itself since my problems started after its installation. I am running a memory test now. I, unfortunately, cannot post the Dump file yet because I am on a different computer. If the memory test checks out, how would I go about testing my video card for problems? Also, should I start a new thread since the problem is no longer "solved?"

Update: The memory test cleared with no errors, now I will try to post the dump file image.

did you do memtest one module at the time and see by removing the gpu and use only the onboard video if you still have bsod that will help confirm that the gpu could be the one and if you could try it in another system ,if all of this does not work strat a new post will all what you made as test to see if someone could give more clue to solve this .

I did test one at a time. I did not try removing the gpu just yet. I'm hoping that since there were no windows updates installed, that this recent BSOD was just a coicidence, as I have not had any since updating windows. If worse comes to worse, my friend has a desktop I can try the card on and see. Thank you for all of your help!
