Many BSODs Windows 7 Graphics related

[wiki99]

So, having a problem with BSODs for quite a long time, and I'm really tired of it to the point where I would like to ask for expertise than blindly try to fix it myself like I always do.

The thing is that each time I play a game that would make my PC use most of its resources, it only lasts from 1-6 hours after which the game either crashes, or I get a BSOD, as i said I've had this problem for quite a while, and recently discovered that most of the BSODs came from one of the memory slots being damaged and barely functional, so i disconnected the RAM stick and stopped using the 4th slot, since then I had no more problems until now, with mostly graphic related BSODs(at least they seem like graphic related).

I apologize if i seem arrogant.

Most recent BSOD debugged using Windbg:

I suggest you check your RAMs with memtest86 and the temperature of your GPU. Personally, I use HWinfo to check temperatures. It's available at https://www.hwinfo.com

Also, is your GPU reasonably clean?

 

[wiki99]

I recently built this PC out of parts, and cleaned the GPU thoroughly, even changed the thermal paste(or however its called) so it is clean, and when it comes to ram, after i stopped using that 4th port it does not cause any problems, but i will look into temperature readings, might have to install an extra fan or something, will give u an update once i do and check if i still get BSODs

 

[wiki99]

I found the reason to all of those BSODs occuring, when i reinstalled my grapics card drivers i accidently installed a high defnition audio with them along with already having one, and the second high definition audio was set to have the same hardware id as the graphics card which caused the BSODs to occur. After i disabled the driver i tested my pc by playing GTA 5 for 12 hours non-stop, no issues whatsoever. Hope that this solution works for others.

Nice to hear that your problem is solved. Now that you've mentioned it, I think I've also noticed that installing a graphics driver sometimes brings up an offer to install HD audio drivers. Still, it can't be common to have it cause a hardware conflict like that.
