Computer Restarted With BSOD

[SkimmyMcG]

I've never had a single problem with my computer since I built it three months ago. Yesterday I got my new GPU, a GTX 760, so I used Nvidia's option to install the new GPU drivers and have it get rid of the old ones. I gamed on it all day, temps were fine. Then I was watching a movie before bed while copying some music to my tablet, just to have the movie freeze, and audio stutter for a second then I got the BSOD, Didn't have enough time to get a picture of it, didn't even have enough time to read the error to find out what the problem was. I can only assume it's a driver problem caused when I got my new GPU, I've checked to see if the old drivers are installed, they're not. Any ideas what I should do to fix this? Full specs are in my sig if you guys need them.

 

EDIT: Just ran a cleaner scan with CCleaner and found Nvidia install files among other things. Not sure if that could be the cause.

Go to Safe Mode and uninstall drivers.

Recommend testing your memory. Copying music and watching a movie takes up more ram then gaming. And 4GB is not a big playroom.

Memtest86 is a good benchmarking tool, but i highly think it is just the capacity.

I think I found it. "The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.  The bugcheck was: 0x0000007f (0x0000000000000008, 0x0000000080050031, 0x00000000000406f8, 0xfffff80002edba6b). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 120914-14320-01." Sounds like to me there is no problem after all, what do you think?

Was there actually a BSOD? or did the PC just shut off and restart?

BSOD = blue screen of death, and it actually needs to show a blue screen

 

The error code looks normal..

It was an actual BSOD. So you think everything is fine judging by the code given?

If it happens again run memtest and see if it gives any errors at all.

Alright, thanks everyone for your help! Might as well run memtest anyway just to be sure.

I'd recommend running Memtest. Do keep in mind that it has to be booted from removable media.

First, I would test the memory using memtest. If the RAM checks out, I would recommend rolling back your GPU drivers to see if that fixes it. Or completely uninstall the device using device manager, and restart, then reinstall the old drivers. 

 

But make sure you disable automatic driver updates for this, otherwise it'll re-install the drivers you had an issue with.
