Hey there, OcUK forum. Just recently put together my new system and so far I am really pleased with it, but now it appears there is a problem. First off, the system:

Sapphire HD 7950 OC edition graphics card
AMD FX-8150 cpu
Corsair Vengance Gold 16GB (4x4GB) 1600MHz RAM
Asus M5A99X EVO motherboard
Corsair Enthusiast Series TX 650W V2 power supply
Hitachi Deskstar 2TB SATA 6Gbs hard drive
Creative X-Fi Titanium sound card
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
All drivers and Windows updates are up to date as of yesterday morning.

Next, the problem: http://i.imgur.com/Ekqxs.jpg

This is happening anywhere between 5 and 60 minutes after booting up and it doesn't seem to matter what the system is doing at the time. It's happened with a game running and with nothing but Steam downloading some games.

I've tried uninstalling the graphics card driver and reinstalling it, but nothing changed. I'm afraid that's as far as my knowledge on the subject goes, so I'd like to ask if anyone may know why this is happening. Thanks for your time. :)
 
Have you still not overclocked anything yet?


bsod code 116 is either low IOH voltage or graphics related, usually because of an unstable overclock or it can also be if using a multi-GPU setup. Gotta go out now so i can't elaborate further atm.
