Windows 7 Video Hardware Errors, frequent crashes, screen freezes.

I don't understand why you are asking a second time for the Driverview and System information files when I have already uploaded them to my OneDrive.  Can you not access them at this link?

According to the link you have provided to me for "Bug Check 0x124: WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR"  the problem could be one of a variety of different things.  Is there a way to know if this bug is telling me about a PCI error, boot error, general hardware error, etc.?  How can I narrow down to the source?

Please download and run Driver View and upload a copy of the report it produces to your OneDrive. To get a report on all drivers select Edit, Select All followed by File, Save Selected Items.

Please provide a copy of your System Information file. Type System Information in the Search Box above the start Button and press the ENTER key (alternative is Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Information). Select File, Export and give the file a name noting where it is located. Do not place the cursor within the body of the report before exporting the file. The system creates a new System Information file each time system information is accessed. You need to allow a minute or two for the file to be fully populated before exporting a copy. Please upload to your OneDrive, share with everyone and post a link here. Please say if the report has been obtained in safe mode. The request for a copy of this file is additional to answering the question about make and model.

The uploaded log files for Gerry are from today.

I will check my PC's motherboard when I get back today, thanks for the advice.

• You should upload the more recent Event Viewer files as they would have information in line with

the current dump file.

"So what you are saying is that running your GPU at 99% while playing games causes crashes?"

I was just tossing in some extra information. More for future reference.

Not all the time, and the gpu is supposed to handle running at 99%, but it's worth noting that

you can get TDR or lock-up in some games when the gpu runs consistently at or near 99% use,

as was the case for me with these two games.

So in a situation where the system is stable overall and you find a particular game crashes  run

Afterburner and check the gpu use to see if it is consistently at or near 99%.

If it is, drop the resolution a notch and you should get a more stable game.

• One more physical check you can do is look at the capacitors on the motherboard and verify the

tops are completely flat (bottom one).

If they are slightly domed (two at top) they starting to fail and could be the source of instability

in the system.

Also check for any crusty/powdery residue around the base or top of the capacitors.

.

I am going to make a system restore point right now, clean uninstall all the AMD/ATI drivers, and put my GTX 650 in my PC.

If this solves the problem, awesome, if it doesn't I am going to get the Minidump for the crash and upload it for Gerry to look at.

EDIT:  Crashed 30 seconds after getting to my desktop... I uploaded the Minidump for Gerry.

So what you are saying is that running your GPU at 99% while playing games causes crashes?  Because prior to this problem with my desktop I never had problems crashing during games.  Then again, I'm not sure what capacity my graphics card was running at either.
