If you got no errors on one run of memtest then your memory is most likely alright, but if you could leave it running tomorrow then that would be the best way to know for sure.

I tried that link you posted but I just keep getting redirected to the member sign in page.
 
Well I have just looked through the crash dump and the BSOD was caused by nvlddmkm.sys which is part of the Nvidia driver.

So you were right it is to do with your graphics card driver but unfortunately that about as much help as I can be as there doesn't seem to be a definite fix for this.


Here's a few ideas though:

Select performance under the 3D settings in the nvidia control panel.

Try latest nvidia drivers 175.12

Remove the creative sound card and its drivers as suggested above.

Download and install vista sp1 (if using vista).

If none of this works email BFG and RMA the graphics card


Please could you still run memtest for 10 full passes.

EVILCOSMOS,

Thanks for you're reply again.

I currently use Vista SP1 with nVidia's BETA Driver 174.74.

I will run Memtest during the day tomorrow as I am in work now and in the evening I won't be able to leave the PC running that long.

Regarding the driver. I was using 169.25 prior to 174.74 but the same issues persisted. I still got a "feeling" it is the actual Hardware on the GFX card that is faulty somewhere as I totally formatted the PC before changed the driver to 174.74.

I can't help however that my Creative card could be conflicting. So, saying that I shall upgrade my nVidia drivers again tonight using the suggested driver removal program on these forums and remove my Creative sound card and its drivers.

Once Memtest has done its 10 cycles I will post back will all my feedback of whats gone on.

Thanks again.

I think you may be right. But its best to be sure before forking out on the postage to RMA it.

Either way I hope it gets sorted out.
