    Need help diagnosing i7 920 BSODs in Vista 64

    Thank you all for your advice. So after reseating the ram and GTX 280, that did nothing. I then tried echn111's advice of clocking back the RAM to 1066 - so far I've been thru the L4D intro 3 times w/ no BSOD. My guess is that my P6T Deluxe didn't adjust the voltage for the ram on its own, so...

    Need help diagnosing i7 920 BSODs in Vista 64

    @echn111 I'm going to try clocking the RAM at 1066. I am running the 181.20's for Vista 64, but I'm going to remove them, run driver cleaner, and reinstall them. The temps were around 44/45 deg C when it crashed, was about 40 deg C when idle in Vista. I didn't get a chance to check GPU...

    Need help diagnosing i7 920 BSODs in Vista 64

    I've been using ASUS PC Probe II to watch the cpu temps as I try games, and the temp isnt rising over 44degC. I noticed a stick of ram was not seated properly, so I reseated it and tried Left 4 Dead again, but the same BSOD popped up moments after starting the game. I'm going to try...

    Need help diagnosing i7 920 BSODs in Vista 64

    Does anyone have any ideas? Is there a way I can monitor the current delivered to the card through software to ensure that power isn't the issue?

    core i7 build...lots of BSOD

    Have you figured anything out on this BSOD issue? I've been having loads of BSODs, saying "uncorrectable hardware failure" on my i7 system. I'm using different parts (ASUS P6T Deluxe, eVGA gtx 280 SSC, 3 x 2gb GSkill ram), but your failures may be similar.

    eVGA 7800GT - drivers not loading when win xp boots

    After my most recent bout with the missing driver/forceware control panel problem, I booted into safe mode and ran Driver Cleaner Pro as admin to remove all nvidia video files and registry keys. Since I have reinstalled forceware 91.31, there has been no problem, but then again, I haven't left...

    Yet another WEIRD video problem.... issue?

    I've seen similar problems with a friend's computer. His problem turned out to be that his DVI cable was (most likely) of awful quality, and this was one that came with his monitor. I can't recall what kind of monitor he had, but his system was fairly high end (amd athlon 64 with a 6800 gt)...

    eVGA 7800GT - drivers not loading when win xp boots

    The problem I'm having is that, when I boot my machine, Windows seems not to load my Forceware drivers. When I reach the login screen, the resolution is at default low levels as if no video drivers are installed, and when I log in, the NVIDIA settings are nowhere to be found (not when right...
