BSOD I think GPU at fault

[dtraven]

Hello everybody,

My specs are:

CPU Intel P4
GPU NVidia 8500 GT
PSU Antec 520 Watt
and 2 WD HD, 40GB and a 1TB


I have experienced 3 or 4 BSOD after running the pc from an hour to 5 hours,and not just gaming, and the BSOD all point at 2 problems.

nv4_disp.dll
or something that starts with q I can't remember sorry

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the newest drivers multiple times but it still BSOD's.

Is it safe to assume that the GPU is faulty or is there a chance something else is at fault before I buy a new GPU?

Thanks!

Have you tried replacing the dll you posted?

Also the problem could be the psu:
The 8500 gt needs around 22amps on the 12v rail.

Is your antec 520 watt psu supplying that?
