Hello,
I ve recently tested my PC with linpack and with furmark and everything was stable. Card TDP were at 90% . Today i played some wow (maybe 3-4 h) and some time ago i finished. I clicked shutdown at my PC and i got a blue screen. I am attaching minidump file . The files causing this sem to b related to the driver (nvlddmkm.sys) file . i never had that problem with my PC . I have those cards like 6 months now. There may be somthing wrong with the newest driver as i stress tested the PC today and it run 5h of furmark and 31 loops of intel burn test and there were no errors. Anyone has any idea of what's happnening ? Here is the link to th thread with the file attached. http://www.overclock.net/t/1310580/windows-7-x64-blue-screen-nvlddmkm-sys
Today i did a 10 min stress tst with furmark and Intel Burn tst and everything was ok. I really dont gt the fact why its BSODED me on SHUTDOWN... I am wondering as i hav 2 samsung SSD 830 in raid 0 with "Turn off Windows write-cache buffer flushing on the device" checkd as that drivs underperform very badly without this option checkd . can this be th culprit ? I really do not uinderstand why it didnt bsod during th 5h stress test furmark + IBT...

Yes, somehow I was having that problem just a one week ago, which I thought it was strange. I really don't know what is causing this, because I installed the latest drivers just a few weeks ago and have no problem. It's very strange, most of them said it was OC issues, but I always set the GPU to 1.050v for about 6 months! and had no issues!.

I fixed the problem by using this method:

There was allot of people having these same problems in this month (September)! I think it's related to drivers. These are the causes that I might think your having as well:

This behavior can occur for one or more of the following reasons:

- You may need to install the latest updates for your display driver
- Visual effects, or too many programs running in the background may be slowing your PC down
- The GPU is taking more time than permitted to display graphics to your monitor

I thought I was having this problems, but now I know many users are having the same problem (can't find the thread but those are the two's links I bookmarked which did helped me), there is something defiantly wrong with the NVIDIA drivers interrupting the OC settings or something. As I said it's strange when the latest drivers was working fine for a few weeks then BAM BSOD!.

I just hope it's not an hardware problem, I really don't know if the GPU is failing, motherboard or PSU. There was allot of them having the 116 code BSOD which is the GPU fail then they got the "nvlddmkm.sys" message. I just hope it won't happen again, many of them replaced the motherboard and it works fine, but to me I just hope its the NVIDIA drivers was the issue.

Oh I still use the 306.23 NVIDIA drivers, but to make sure maybe go back to the 200's versions, I still wan't to use the 306.23 and see If the problem happen again.

Hope this helps.
