Now getting blue screen of death

[focusedmind]

Hey, I think this is the right forum but if not please move it. Yesterday I started getting this blue screen error. I haven't changed any settings or hardware so I'm not sure what the issue could be. I looked up some info on it and it said it had to do with a video driver. So I uninstalled my video driver and reinstalled from the most current one on the Nvidia website. Even after that I have still gotten this error message. There was another suggestion to turn down the settings on the hardware. After reading that I reset the GPU's settings back to factory. Although it hasn't done it again, I figured I'd post to get some info and try to keep this from happening again as I JUST made the changes. Here is a picture of the screen and thanks for any help offered.

nv4_disp is the nVidia Video driver. Turning down the hardware acceleration and fixing the problem could mean a bad video card. Are you using a Video card or the on-board video built into the motherboard? If a card list the make and model. If the on-board, make and model of the motherboard or if a store bought computer, make and model.

It is a video card and the make and model is Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti. I had it slightly overclocked using the utility provided with the card. Up until this point I hadn't had any issues with it. Could it still be a bad card?

No but it may of had to do with overclocking it. That is a great card, would be interested in what temperature it is running at? You may already have a progrom to read it:

1. Right Click on the empty space of the destop
2. click 'properties'
3. click 'setting'
4. click 'advance'
5. click your 'GeForce' tag
6. on the right popup panel, you should be able to find 'temperature' if you video card comes with a temperature probe. click it and you will see your video core's temperature.

If not then downlaod and run Speedfan Click on Free Download Button.

Yeah I have really enjoyed the card so far. Haven't ran SLI like I had planned yet, but it was running the games I was playing at max no problem. The GPU temperature was reading 53°C which is pretty high I'm guessing. I did notice that the fan was set to auto, which had the fan running at 44% speed. I changed it to manual and bumped it up to 75%. I'll see where that holds it and adjust accordingly. Even in the couple of minutes since I turned the fan up it has dropped to 42°C.

Those are good temps, that card can run as high as maybe 75c and still not crash.
