I've been troubleshooting this but, I figured now I could use help. I've narrowed out hardware issues besides the GPU. Drivers are not the issue, either. It crashed one day while playing Skyrim and has crashed upon any game launch ever since. I'll post any logs I can get and my hard/soft specs. This is a brand new build, so I'm really astounded that this is happening.

Hardware: http://pcpartpicker.com/b/K8QV3C

Software


  • Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit SP1
    Latest NVIDIA driver. (Graphics Driver only)
    Softwares that have Crashed
    Skype
    Stanley Parable
    Skyrim
    Dolphin Emulator
    Windows Media Player


Logs(Google Drive)
I'll post any logs I can get https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B7OB5JuF1m5zVEJRcmp1QXlPUzQ&usp=sharing


Any and all help is appreciated. In the meantime I have requested an RMA on my GPU, as I think this is very likely the issue. Someone handled my card a while back and they touched the PCB (left fingerprints) and the gold connectors with their hands. It would make sense because I've heard ESD can be very random.

What I know so far:
It's not the drivers.
All my other hardware is working fine. (Benches fine, no crash on Integrated Graphics.)
Windows reported the same issue whenever it crashed regardless of the enviroment.

Please help, I just got into PC Gaming and I just set everything up the way I wanted.

When the PC restarts in this way, its (usually) either a video card issue(bad card/bad overclock) or a PSU problem (bad psu/faulty wiring/etc).

Make sure you didnt miss any 6 or 8 pin power plugs to the video card or to the PSU if its modular. Try using a different PCI-E socket on your PSU if you have multiple ports for your PCI-E power cables. Id exhaust every possibilty b4 going thru the hassle of an RMA, cause you might wait over a week to get a new one and still have the same issues.

Check all power connections, try different power cables/psu ports, and if you have any OC settings, remove them all to stock clocks/voltages. Then try the card in another computer if you have one available.

None of the components are OC'd. Cables are fine.I'll try a different PCI-E socket.
