I get BSOD playing crysis 3 within a few mins into the game. Just purchased the Sapphire Vapour-x 290x and installed 14.6 beta. Had a 6970 before and never got bsod but was using an old driver.

This is likely to be caused by a hardware problem problem. This problem might be caused by a thermal issue.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\060114-12546-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ndis.sys (ndis+0x5D5A)
Bugcheck code: 0x3B (0xC0000005, 0xFFFFF88001CC9D5A, 0xFFFFF88006753940, 0x0)

description: NDIS 6.20 driver
Bug check description: This indicates that an exception happened while executing a routine that transitions from non-privileged code to privileged code.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system that cannot be identified at this time.


First one by ndis.sys and 2nd time by ntoskrnl.exe.

Any ideas?


Thanks
 
No GPU was the only upgrade and the system was fine with no BSOD issues when i was on AMD 6970.

Will prime95 test determine if system OC is stable before changing anything? or my PSU might be too old?
 
I think I got the system stable now. Did a prime95 test and one of the threads failed around 30min mark.

I had offset set to -0.015 so I decreased that two notches and system is prime stables for a couple of hours now :)

Never knew a graphics upgrade can make the system OC unstable.


Thanks for the help guys.
