Hello I just got a new desktop computer This is my system I have a rampage 3 extreme motherboard, i7 980x , His 5970 graphic card, 80gb intel 3.5 ssd, Fatal1ty champion soundcard, 850w Silent Pro Coolermaster psu and 6gb (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...-501-_-Product). My system had an error and I just want to be sure it is nothing to be concerned about as this build was over 4000$ and thinned my walet. This is what the error listed: Problem signature: Problem Event Name: BlueScreen OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1 Locale ID: 1033 Additional information about the problem: BCCode: 116 BCP1: FFFFFA800909C010 BCP2: FFFFF88004291C48 BCP3: 0000000000000000 BCP4: 0000000000000002 OS Version: 6_1_7600 Service Pack: 0_0 Product: 256_1 Files that help describe the problem: C:\Windows\Minidump\070910-13353-01.dmp C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-49452-0.sysdata.xml Read our privacy statement online: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=104288&clcid=0x0409 If the online privacy statement is not available, please read our privacy statement offline: C:\Windows\system32\en-US\erofflps.txt Thanks for all the help
You know what implies everyone, in diagnosing the BSOD, is having the real error message that appears. You can see this message if you disable auto-reboot on BSOD (how to tutorial: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows7/ht/automatic-restart-windows-7.htm) Anyway, BSOD Code 116 means: "System tried to reset the video driver; but could not in the time allowed". In other words it's your video card drivers that crashed, and was unable to recover. Windows Vista/7 has the ability to restart a driver to avoid a BSOD. It's just that in this case it was unable to. Probably because the GPU itself crashed, probably due to the driver. I recommend to get the latest drivers from ATi web site. If you do have them already you can: - Get an older version, until a new version is released. - Get the latest beta version. (but risk other problems - graphical errors, or well more crash) - Ignore this problem and only be concern if it happens again.
Thanks that makes sense I just finished updating my video drivers around 5 min before the error happened. I just wanted to be safe. Thanks again
