BSOD Radeon 6850

[technologic]

I posted earlier that I was getting the bsod everytime I tried to play a fullscreen game. Concluded that it is because I have a cx430w psu. I just ordered a new antec 750w, but I want to make sure thats the only issue. I don't wanna get this psu in 3-4 days and have it happen again lol.
It doesn't matter if I run Dirt3 or League of Legends, i get like 3-10 minutes gametime and then black screen followed by sound crashing, which results in a painful hard restart.

Mobo: ASRock Extreme z68
Cpu: i3-2120
Gpu: Sapphire Radeon 6850 HD
PSU: cx430 my antec gamer series 750w is on its way

Connections on cables and slots are all good and secure...
What else should I look into on this matter?
What other info should I post here?

Have you tried updating the video and sound drivers?. Have you had these problems since you built the machine?

 

[technologic]

yes i updated drivers and no not really.
the day i built it I DL Dirt3 played it for an hour or so...
next day played for a while, then started BSOD'n

seriously doubt its your psu.

Can you run games in windowed?

 

[technologic]

haven't tried, but regardless league of legends shouldnt be crashing my system 0.o

and i hope it is my PSU because I just bought an Antec HCG-750w

I'll try running windowed

 

[technologic]

Just tested, still crashes on windowed mode.
I hope I don't need a new graphics card :x

sounds like driver issues. Have you tried uninstalling drivers with something like driver sweeper and reinstalling them?

 

[technologic]

no i havent is it fairly easy?
do i do it from disk, or dl?
or make a new version of a disk?

 

[esrever]

do it from a download.

and download the AMD drivers from AMD's website.

 

[technologic]

hmm i think i just got the ones from the amd site...maybe i need older driver?

 

[esrever]

maybe try a few different ones.

 

[technologic]

yeah i tried the more recent ones, hopefully this works.
it it does /facepalm because I just spend $105 on a beefier psu.
