BSOD Windows 8.1 and now Windows 7

[Jack Morgan]

Hi,
I have recently reset my pc(specs below) and "suddenly" I have seen the BSOD.
I have read countless forum saying its this, or that.. and I just want to know what is wrong.
The only thing I was "Weary" about installing on my new HDD was Punkbuster with BF3.
It took me to the website of PunkBuster which it has never done before.
I installed it and since, My computer stays on for about 3-4 seconds then BSOD's.
Please Help.

AMD Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Quad Core CPU(Stock Cooler)
8gb Patriot 1866MHz Memory DDR3
320gb WD 7200RPM HDD
Asus HD7790 grapics card, (1gb)
Asus m5a78l-m/usb3 motherboard
CiT 600W Power Supply
Windows 8.1 64Bit w/StartIsBack

Reload Windows fresh

Thanks, I formatted and reinstalled win7. Error seems to still occur..any other suggestions?

 

[Tmagic650]

So you are running Windows 7 and Windows 8?

 

[Jack Morgan]

Just Win7, I downgraded from Windows 8.1,

With a fresh install of Windows, you must have a program conflict...

 

[Jack Morgan]

What do you suggest?

*Update*

I get a restart error, when I have the graphics card in and no drivers. Aswell as having drivers installed without the video card inserted.

Replace the power supply...

 

[Jack Morgan]

Thats what lots of forums have said, is it the wattage? or just the fact thats it's cheap and nasty?

Thanks by the way!

Replace the power supply...

How would a psu affect the drivers crashing my pc? ?

 

[Tmagic650]

By not supplying enough power to the computer

 

[Jack Morgan]

What wattage would you recommend ? ?

 

[Tmagic650]

650 watts... or so, but make sure the brand is a good one like Corsair...

 

[Jack Morgan]

Ok, Thanks for the help!

 

[Jack Morgan]

Ok, Now it works when it is inserted, but no drivers are installed, (no new PSU)
So it must be the drivers :/

After installing the drivers, I had this:

Go to C:\windows\minidump. Minidump files have a .dmp extension. Select all the .dmp files, right-click sending them to a compressed(zipped)folder. Upload that folder as a file here

 

[Jack Morgan]

I didn't know what to call it..

 

[Tmagic650]

Your ATI/AMD video driver or card is causing the BSOD's

 

[Jack Morgan]

I knew that, is it the drivers or the cardthough????

 

[Tmagic650]

Well, the logical thing to try first is to update the driver and Catalyst Control Center for Windows 8...

 

[Jack Morgan]

Does it have to be win8? I have currently instaled windows 7

 

[Tmagic650]

No of course not, You should change the title of this thread to Windows 7.

I've updated all of the drivers, latest ones, afterinstalling, it displays an error message saying "failiures during installation"
then has a link saying "view log"
before I get a chance tolook at it, it bluescreens

 

[Tmagic650]

I just installed Windows 8.1 Enterprise for testing purposes and my Nvidia 550ti drivers installed fine. Your video card may be bad...
