------------------

hope that is clear enough.

so my problem is, i booted it up, fine. installed Heroes of Newerth and World of Warcraft, thats it. It ran fine for a few hours, then i was starting to get BSOD and the whole black screen thing going on where ur monitor just goes to power saving mode. And its completly random when it happened, in windows/ in HON/ in WOW / on startup etc..

i left my computer on overnight, to come back to it at the black screen and windows had done a auto update. so i rebooted it. it booted but i tried a game and it BSOD. so then i rebooted and installed latest drivers from nvidia the 290 one. then everytime i booted it i could not get past the BSOD on startup saying the usual display driver timeout etc, im sure u guys know of it.

so i restored from before the windows update and i could get into windows again (64bit) but it was still doing the random crashes. so annoyed as frig, i started hunting these forums etc and found a whole host of possible problems. so i downloaded precision x to check temps and had the fan at 70% and the temp was 32oC and it crashed right in front of me, so i discarded the overheating thought. next precison x said my mV were at 963, which after some hunting i thought was a bit low, i changed it too 1000mV and i loaded WoW and it crashed within minutes.

So i restored again back to start of when i got computer, booted it in safe mode and used the EVGA CD (drivers) i got with my computer and loaded them on, and now im back to BSOD on startup and cant load 64bit windows. any suggestions on where to go!?! plz!

thanks guys
