Hi all
I'm looking for some assistance in troubleshooting a stability issue my system has developed. I'll start with my system specs first off
Core i7 2700k @ 3.9Ghz 1.12v / 4.1GHz @ 1.184v
Asus P8Z68 Pro-V
16GB Geil DDR3 @ 1600MHz CL9 1.525v
MSI Geforce GTX 780 Gaming (previously Radeon HD 6970)
3TB Hitachi 3k7000 with 60GB Intel 330 in SRT
My system has run stable @ 3.9GHz with the Radeon 6970 for years. I got the odd BSOD maybe once every 8-12 weeks or so on average, but nothing to complain about really. With the recent 780 price drops I picked up a MSI Gaming version and ever since I just can't get my system stable while gaming.
Very shortly after I received the 780 I decided to clock my 2700k to 4.1 and stress tested it to get it stable which it passes fine. However, while gaming I get a BSOD on average every 2-3 days (They can happen within a few seconds though). I've tried everything to resolved these, including increasing vcore, increase ram voltage, increasing and decreasing pll voltages, even returning my system to the old 3.9GHz profile which is known good isn't stable and BSODs in exactly the same manner.
The BSODs in question are 1A (Memory management) and 4E (PFN_list_corrupt). The system is IBT, Prime95 and memtest stable and has been tested on multiple occasions to confirm, yet the BSODs continue. These occur exclusively during gaming and the system doesn't BSOD at idle on the desktop, nor while stress testing. The previous AMD drivers were removed cleanly and the I've tried a few different nvidia drivers, including the latest WHQL ones and they haven't helped. I'm pretty much at the pulling hardware/formatting point now, but I wondered if anyone maybe had an idea or any further advice to try and track the cause of this before I do?
Cheers for any help

. I actually run 1.12v @ 3.9GHz and 1.184v @ 4.1GHz
