Need help finding the cause of this bsod

Shocking blaming your missus. You monster

I played my "Get out of jail" card early!!

Lmao ok cheers for that, surprised about it being an old driver considering is 11.7 whql ones... hmmm, oh wait I didnt even install the Catalyst at that point... so that's been resolved, will keep you posted once next BSOD occurs.

Hmmm been told it had another one, this time Bad Pool Header with "stop 0x000000019" havent got the dumps yet, but it's running on vanilla install with no AV, Ethernet disabled and onboard audio disabled, using catalyst 11.7... looking like graphics card issue maybe? as the chaps only got F1 2010 installed to stress test it. I had done a 2 hour Prime95 stress prior to that but obviously that doesnt test GPU. Getting tad fed up now..

STOP 0x00000019: BAD_POOL_HEADER
Usual causes: Device driver

Can you install OCCT? You can run a GPU test with that. Or info on Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark.

Just an afterthought John,
In case you are unaware of where driver info and stop codes come from:
Driver Reference
BSOD Index

And this is about the best info I've found on getting set up to read dump files:
How to set up Debugging Tools

Cheers mate, will do once mate brings his Pc back around, might even pop a spare GPU in by Nvidia (as opposed to current Ati 4650 in it) to see if that eliminates it... fair chance the GPU was the issue all along?? will run the benchs tomorrow that you mentioned.

I'm not saying it is the GPU but I do have a faint recollection regarding 4xxx series having issues. Don't quote me on that, I could be wrong!

Need Nemesis at least. He's well into his graphics!

lol well the ati card in his is 2nd hand so no idea of its condition, where as the spare Nvidia 250 is from a good source and is under warranty still.

I've personally never had a problem with a 4 series ATI card. Who manufactured it? Is it PCIE? May I suggest you try the 10.7 Catalysts and see how they go. As elmer suggested try Furmark and could you run GPU-Z and post all of the cards info including vender id.

its a xfx pcie 4650 1gb using the 11.7 off xfx site, will try older ones tomorrow.
