    Hello there ive just built a new machine with the following specs and seem to get a BSOD with the following error after installing NVIDIA Drivers. I must note that it only BSODS after i restart and trys to load windows.

    The error im getting is nvlddmkm.sys blah blah blah then the system just restarts and has the same error when loading windows again.

    I can run in safe mode no problem and I can also run without drivers installed. I have had it running with the latest drivers previously after reinstalling the drivers. However its just randomly starting BSODing and everytime i reinstall it doesnt do a thing.

    Please help someone im getting very frustrated with this.

    Spec:

    Intel i5 2500k 3.3
    8 GB Patriot RAM
    Asus PZ68 v-PRO ( Latest Bios )
    OCZ Vertex 3 120gb
    Geforce GTX 580 3056MB ( Pallit )
    Windows 7 64x

    The actual issue was related to the North Bridge and the first PCIe 2.0 x16 slot not running the correct

    voltage for the video card. Needless to say, here are the steps that corrected my issue, from ASUS

    Support, and reset the voltage for the video card:

    1. Uninstall video card driver utilities from Programs
    2. Uninstall video card driver from Device Manager/Display Adapters
    3. Shut down computer
    4. Unplug everything including power connector... wait 30 seconds
    5. Remove the video card from the motherboard
    6. Clear the motherboard CMOS for 20 seconds (my motherboard has a convenient CMOS button on the back but

    you may have to use a jumper or remove the battery... follow your MB instructions)
    7. Plug in the power and start PC... wait 15 seconds and shut back down
    8. Unplug power and put the video card back on your motherboard
    9. Plug back in power and start back up... DO NOT modify your BIOS settings yet
    10. OPTIONAL: I use RAID drives so I had to turn back on my RAID management in the BIOS when starting up
    11. Once Windows loads, install video drivers, restart and see if the issue is fixed
    12. If the issue is fixed go back into BIOS update RAM Timings and any other component settings needed

    Copied from the link above seems strange but he also has a asus board.

    Let us know how you get on dude.
