So I'm getting this error a lot now, I never got it until about a month into using it. I thought maybe it was the new drivers but they had been running fine for since the 18th of November and I only got the errors around the second of December. I reverted them but and it was fine for a day, now it's crashing again. I'd really appreciate a translation of these dump files and maybe we can figure something out. There hasn't been any other hardware changes sine the upgrade. Praying it isn't faulty hardware, a clean install of Windows is an option but I'd prefer not to.

Oh and this will happen seemingly without a cause. It's happened while gaming, but it also happens a lot just using youtube or something like that.

I'm still crashing on a new install of Windows 7.
Gigabyte support is nonexistant (Waited 2 days for a response)
It's been over a month, Newegg won't take it back
I can't find answers anywhere.

I don't think that matters anymore since I've started a fresh install of windows unless it's possible my intel drivers are causing an issue, but, it ran fine for 3 weeks with intel and amd drivers present on the system.

Happened to me too, try underclocking the card to see if it gets rid of the bsods. If it does then it probably means a bad card. Also try running onboard graphics to see if you still get crashes.
