[QUOTE="Cowpipe, post: 238238, member: 23820"] Ah, Cats- my trusty sidekick on the case :D The information you're referring to in the thread talks about overheating, which is another possible cause :) You see, when a BSOD occurs, it normally comes with an error code which is in hexadecimal form like 0x00000001 etc... This is valuable information because it tells us exactly what the problem is, in this case 0x116 is known as [URL='http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/hardware/ff557263(v=vs.85).aspx']VIDEO_TDR_ERROR[/URL] which occurs when the display driver can't be recovered from a 'timeout' or more technically speaking, when the operating system detects six or more GPU hangs occurring within a minute (indicating the GPU or graphics card, isn't functioning correctly). There are a number of possible causes, some technical, some not so technical but the solution and further tests really depends on if this is a hardware or software problem ;) [/QUOTE]
