BSOD after installing gtx 970

[JPHunter]

Hi

I recently purchased the Palit gtx 970 jetstream. Only an couple hours after installation was I getting a bsod and it continues to happen about at random whenever I'm casually doing something on my PC. Browsing the web or whatever. Nothing really triggers it.

This is the minidump file:

I also notice that I can't open CPU-Z anymore since new installation. I put some values to 0 (a solution I found by googling) and it seems to open. It shows everything except my GPU.

Please can someone analyse the minidump file and help me?

Thanks.

delete old drivers completely and install new drivers again.

I reformatted my entire PC I had no idea what to do then reinstalled the appropriate drivers. Still BSODing.

full system specs please, and precisely which version of the driver are you installing?

full system specs please, and precisely which version of the driver are you installing?

i5 3570k 3.4ghz
GA-Z77-DS3H Mobo (I updated / flashed or w/e the bios a year ago)
GTX 970 Palit Jetsream
8gb Memory
750W PSU

The driver that I installed after I reformatted was the latest NVIDIA one 347.25 . The same one I had before reformatting. However that driver worked perfectly fine on my GTX 770 which I replaced.

I'm not even sure if it's my GPU that's playing up.

I guess you have a faulty card, RMA it. I say this, because if you did a full format, BSOD should not occour with the latest nVidia drivers imho. Some problems in performance yes, they migh happen, but BSOD is alway a bad sign...

Ok I deleted everything to do with NVIDIA on my system. Installed the driver on the disc instead of the internet and installed CPU-Z again. It appears CPU-Z actually opens now. Also appears that my geforce experience detects games (didn't before). May be a driver issue I'll report back on the next inevitable BSOD.

you have windows 7 RTM, you need the SP 1 and windows updates installed in order to run a current video driver
