Hi guys.
I've had BSODs for about two years now, occuring probably two-three times monthly, sometimes with huge gaps, other times with more frequency. Never too bad. This June and July have been like 6 times per month though, and I am becoming more and more worried.
I think it started around the time my original Powercolor 7950 started overheating to 80C in BF4 and I RMA'd it. I toughed it out for awhile but I just started graduate school and cannot afford for this to suddenly crash on me anymore. ESPECIALLY during tests!
I figured yeah, I can see some driver failures, crashes, and DX stuff going on, so it must be the Powercolor Card sucking. I decided to upgrade to an R9 290X after selling a buttload of things. Worked fine for a week, and suddenly two BAD_POOL_HEADER errors.
I ran a memcheck, windows says my sticks are fine. Anyways, here is the full report on the computer, I'll include dxdiag stuff as well.
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate SP 1
RAM: Corsair 1866Mhz Vengeance 4x4GB (16GB) RAM (Set to 1866 in BIOS)
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4 Ghz (I was originally going to overclock, but then it was a year after I purchased and this started happening so I figured I might as well just ditch that idea)
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77 V-LK LGA 1150
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (Again, was going to overclock, now I just heat my room LOL)
OS Drive: Kingston HyperX 256 GB Solid State Drive (SATA III)
Storage: 1 TB WD Blue 7200 HDD (SATA III)
Optical: ASUS 24X DVD
Optical: Samsung BluRay
PCIe: Sound Blaster Z Series
PCIe GPU (Current): Sapphire AMD R9 290X
PCIe GPU (Past): Powercolor Radeon HD 7950
Display Driver: Catalyst 15.7 (BSODs since around late 13.x to early 14.x)
BIOS DATE: 02/01/13 Ver 10.01
Attached is the DXDIAG file from today, as well as the minidumps from 1) Pre new graphics card installation contained in the folder labeled as such 2) Two mini dumps from recently - post new graphics card.
Thanks for any help you guys can give me, definitely don't want to head into Windows 10 tonight with some critical things wrong with the computer.
