Hello, I installed a new graphics card in my system a few weeks ago, along with an additional 4 gigs of RAM (originally had 4, so now 8 total), and I started experiencing issues with app crashes and sometimes full system crashes/BSODs. I decided to completely reinstall Windows and start fresh, even got a brand new SSD to install the OS on. Since doing so the problems have not ceased, in fact I seem to be getting less app crashes and more BSODs. After getting a random BSOD while doing nothing more than surfing the web, I decided it would be a good idea to run memtest86. I downloaded a program called Rufus to create a bootable flashdrive that would allow me to run memtest86 without burning a disc, yet every time I go to install it, I get asked if I would like to allow the program to check for updates, and every single time I click 'No', I immediately get a BSOD. Here is a minidump file of the most recent one, if anyone here has the knowhow to decifer it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/28dxdnr9jv...55-01.dmp?dl=0[1]
I have since removed the 4 additional gigs of RAM, but it didn't help. I then swapped the two old sticks with the two new sticks and still the same issue. Finally I put two sticks in the last two slots instead of the first two slots, and the issue was the same, so I think its safe to rule out memory as the culprit,
I also just hooked up my old GPU (MSI HD7770) and the issue still exists. So now I'm down to thinking its mobo or driver issues?
If anyone has any suggestions for what could possibly be causing this, I would hugely appreciate it.
