OK So since I had Fry's put in my MOBO, CPU, GPU, and RAM in December I've been getting some strange issues that I think indicate a bad GPU - however - the issues are sporatic and Fry's won't consider doing anything if they can't recreate the issue. Well, today I left my rig on and when I got home I saw it got a BSOD and created a minidump file. I did all the steps and downloaded all the tools to look at it but it keeps telling me access denied in WinDbg. I tried to take ownership and everything but no good. Can someone here help me by taking a look and sending me results with your opinion?
I have the following specs:
AMD Athlon II x3 455 (stock)
Asus M5A97 Mobo
XFX Radeon HD 6770 1gb
8gb Kingston Hyperx
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Games crash often and sporatically leaving AppCrash messages and then afterwards my Google Chrome will Appcrash and no games will load - they all Appcrash after showing strange colors and artifacts in their loading screens or launchers. All is fixed on reboot and if i restart the game (i.e. ME3, Alan Wake are the worst - whereas Skyrim and Amalur run much better) the issue is resolved for a period of between 15 mins to 2 hours - approx.
Thanks in advance for any help - I'm past Fry's return period so for them to make an exception I need to prove their hardware was shotty from the get go and that it took me this long to track down the issue.
