Hello... All my experience with BSOD is due to a Hardware communication, interrupting between the MB and Windows.
1) Make sure you have no un-happy hardware drivers in your "Device Manager"... No Yellow or Red icon indicators
2) Clean all card/stick edges with rubbing alcohol... And Re-insert cards.
3) Inspect and clean all DATA and Power connections... to your Hardware and MB.
4) Verify all devices CPU/GPU/MB temperatures are with in Normal operating temperatures.
5) Verify your Power Supply 12Vdc has enough current , To operate your Video Card and CPU, at the Performance setting you are using.
6) Test One Part at a time in a known Good Computer.
BSOD are tuff problems too solve... and sometimes takes all those steps I listed to get rid of them... Sometimes it can be simple fix by a BIO Setting/Driver/Software Removal/Preference Settings.
TO PROVE it is the Hardware ( FOR ME ) means installing a Fresh WIN 7 SP1 RAW ISO ( NO UPDATES ) install on a spare Hardrive with just Device Drivers will verify this... If you Blue screen with this, your hardware has a problem communicating with the MB. http://www.w7forums.com/threads/official-windows-7-sp1-...
I checked the device manager, i had USB controller seen as its own third party other device that had a yellow flag but i had several other ones installed correctly not sure why that was there so i disabled it.
Cleaned all the items and checked the connections, one was semi loose on a power connection but issues are still persistent.
temps are all fine and running normal, i have nothing overclocked either.
my power supply is fine orignally when i got my ram i had to manually set my voltage to 1.5 v and that is still set correctly. (wasnt an auto detected ram for the mobo i have).
I can post system specs. also sadly this is my first built computer/desktop so i have nothing to test individual components with.
I believe something is happening driver wise, there seems to often be messages on the BSOD and a few minor mentions of driver issues when things happen but nothing I can pin down.
The graphics themselves and games run fine but suddenly self terminate or the computer crashes.
also often see .dll file errors in bluescreenviewer mentioned and kernal issues but again i do not know enough to break it down into what the specific issue seems to be.
is there a good free legit driver checking program? I used a few paid ones to check what it says drivers are missing and 4 show up but nothing that seems critical to my systems, like one for the screen itself a minor audio one (have several audio based programs and use the sound card i have as the main driver) also says many are out of date wanted to see if maybe there is some driver issue that could cause BSOD.
Ran CCleaner ect to clean up and check registry errors to no avail.
Not quite sure what to do or how to press forward now.
