I will try to best describe the problem I'm having. I started crashing after I got my new graphics card. So I initially thought that the graphics card was bad but it turned out not to be the case. What I first did was remove my old hard drive and install a fresh copy of windows 7 on a brand new SSD. The moment I log in I instantly freeze. So don't think it's the hard drive. After the hard drive problem, I then tried each memory stick by itself on each ddr3 slot and see if my computer powered up and it did. At this point I don't think it's the memory so I remove the most recent component that I changed to my computer which was the graphics card and boot up without the graphics card plugged. Long behold.. I Blue screen again. As of right now, I am completely out of ideas/options as to what the problem can be. If anyone can help fix this or at least guide me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. I will also note that from time to time, I sometimes got a bad CMOS error message when booting up. Not sure if the battery can be the problem but it only appears sometimes. If there is any other information you need please let me know.

Heres a few dump files from today. I don't know how to open/view them.



SMALLUPDATE: My computer has frozen about 8 times since I wrote this topic. PLEASE HELP.

The PSU is trash and needs to be replaced ASAP before it damages the PC. Antec, XFX, Seasonic, EVGA (G2,B2,GS) are what you want.

Yes, you RAM is toast as well. Could be caused by the junk PSU frying things.

I don't remember off the top of my head but I think it's something similar to that. Anyways, I have some .dmp files but I don't know how to open or view them. I uploaded to google docs if you can take a look.

I need a premission from you to download. :((.Btw you can check them yourself by downloading BlueScreenView.Open it and it'll show all the dump files on your computer and what caused them.

I will, I am here to help! :) These BSODs seems to be caused by these drivers:
ntoskrnl.exe
athrx.sys
nvlddmkm.sys
And all of them have the same error code. 0x0000001e and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
The reason this error happens is because either a driver isn't installed properly or is conflicting with something else.
Try this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tteqVGOmm4
And while in the Device manager looks through the devices, and look for devices with " ! " mark.That means that's conflicting.If you can update your Graphics drivers too.

All I can see is Ark Technologies Inc ATX P4 Supply, Looks very generic.



Ok now on to some good stuff, I was looking around on google and I kept running across memtest86+. So I downloaded and ran it. It found 31 errors in 25 passes. So it's safe to say my ram is toast? Then, I restarted my computer and I get a blue screen. After I restart once more, I look at my desktop and some of my icons at the bottom have vanished. My anti virus software tells me that my computer is not up to date it was set to "May 6 2013". I try going onto tomshardware and google and it says certificate cannot be authenticated. Now my icons at the disk tray have disappeared and I keep freezing constantly. So my question to you is, my ram is screwed? Is it just my ram? What else can be the problem.

Ok so get new ram (check). What about the watts on the PSU? Should I upgrade to 750w? And can you explain the time change on my pc?
