GPU causing bluescreen restarts

[ash_scotland88]

I think I have come to the conclusion that it was my new GPU causing blue screen restarts when trying to watch blurays using POWERDVD9 ULTRA.
It was a gianward GTX 460 GS, tried latest drivers etc and all came up with the same error of nvlddmkm.sys.

Now do I try and install a new bios for my mobo to see if this works. Return the card for the same one incase it is faulty, or buy a GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 460? £10 more.

Either way decision needs to be made asap as I am going up to uni this weekend and want something at least mentally sorted!

edit, other option would be to buy a 5830 instead. But i feel this may be a drop down compared to the GTX 460GS 1GB

corsair hyper type R 550w (or the one around the 500w)
I dont think it would be over heating, why would bluray cause this to overheat? I also installed the software they provide and manually changed the fan to run at 100% and this caused no problems.

Dont really have an other system I can try it in.

cheers, only problem now is that the card has been left at home and Iam at uni- plan was for my dad to post it back, but the company I bought it from still hasnt gotten back in touch.

Also I've ran the overclocking software for stress testing (when i had the small overclock) and no errors where reported.

What blu-ray player you using ravanger?
Are codecs for the windo media payer free to obtain?

cheers, so no suggestion on the blu-ray player?

I think Iam going to just pass it over to my dad to get a refund for it, if not I may have to cut my loses and sell on the MM =[

well the latest one as in the ones that were released at the time i first made the thread.

Yeah, when I was googling for a problem, it was a "it could be anything, they may as well put "lol. computer is not workin. rofl" as it was generic, rainging from hardware to software.
