Hope someone can help with this issue. I recently replaced a Asus ENGgts450 Top with an EVGA gtx570 reference. The 450 ran without a problem, but I couldn't resist the 570. Current nvidia drivers are installed. The 570 is in the pci-e x16 slot and works fine by itself. Since letting the 450 sit, when it could be also working a boinc project seemed like a waste, I decided to install it in the pci-e x4 slot I had available. Both GPUs work fine for about 6 - 7 hours, then I get the BSOD which indicates file dxgmms1.sys as the problem. This happens consistently.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled nvidia drivers, even rolled them back....no change. I've updated the bios. prime95 and memtest came back with no errors. No heat related issue (mid to high 60c both cards.) When I remove the 450 everything works perfectly. Any ideas?

The simplest solution is to sell the GTS450!
It is an DirectX related BSOD, and you seem to have tried all the troubleshooting steps I know off apart from reinstalling DirectX

Well...I'll try reinstalling the Directx and putting the 450 back in to see what happens.

Thanks

i dont think you can install direct x again unless its a newer version, it will just tell you it is already installed. honestly the gtx570 is a good enough card by itself and doesnt need a dedicated card (gts450) for physx, i assume thats why you have it.
