Hi,

I have been experiencing BSODs for the past two days now and that too only during gaming. I recently bought a Zotac Geforce GT 610 2GB card just for casual gaming. It's been working fine for 2 months and all of a sudden, up until 2 days before, any game i try to play. blue screened. I looked for solutions online and most of them recommended to monitor the temps using gpu-z. I just did that and i saw that it never exceeds 60C.

I did a stress test using furmark at 1280x720 resolution with 2xMSAA for 15 mins and it did not gave any error or crash.

Furthermore, the blue screens were weird. They gave different explanation for all the crashes. Sometimes it gives a 'dxgmm1.sys' error. Other times it had 'ntoskernel.exe' and sometimes it gave 'nvlddmkm.sys' error. Below i will give my most recent BSOD dump file.

PS:I also tried using different drivers but the problem still persists.

My PC Specs:
Intel Pentium Dual Core E5700@3.00GHz
4.00GB DDR3 Ram(single channel)
Zotac Geforce GT 610 2GB DDR3
250w PSU with 17A on the +12V Rail

Solution
The old version of windows 7 you are running will bugcheck if you use a current era graphics driver.
You have to update to the windows 7 service pack and apply the windows updates.

or how about yes, it was a bug in directx but it was fixed 4 years ago.

Have you seen it's TDP? It's just 29w at 100% TDP. If it is a PSU problem, then it should have crashed when i did the extreme stress test using Furmark. So, i am ruling out the PSU problem here.

I also tried hotfixes and that too didn't solve the problem. Any suggestions?
