What is going on with this PC?

[MetalX]

I'm trying to fix my friend's PC. It blue-screens most of the time whenever DIrect3D or OpenGL is initiated, and I can't figure out why. I updated the video drivers, lowered the memory speed and loosened the timings, changed some settings around, all to no avail.

I have a massive array of minidumps from all the BSODs that I can upload for you. They're attached to the post.

Uninstall the ASUS enhanced video drivers. It's a known problem. You may need to reinstall the Nvidia drivers.

Open Add/Remove Programs, look for a reference to the Asus Enhanced Drivers, and uninstall them.
Restart

Failing that, just update your Video drivers
All done

There was something about ASUS Gamer OSD, but nothing related to ASUS Enhanced Drivers. I deleted the OSD, I'll reboot and see what happens.

Thanks Kimsland. I fixed it by uninstalling that ASUS Gamer OSD, and then by reinstalling the Nvidia drivers.
