BSOD while gaming ERROR 0x00000116

[frallan123]

So I have still this problem and havent got any further with it. Ive done everything there is to do. ive run memtest 48hrs on both RAM on every slot on the MB. ive run furmark for 10hours without crashing. All temperatures are under 60degree celsius while gaming. Nothing is overclocked but still in some games my computer just freezes and shutdown.

I was asking help on another forum but got banned because they believed my windows 7 copy was pirated, which its not since im a student so I get access to Dreamspark. They required some information when posting threads so I guess I can upload same here. Every BSOD I get is 0x116 but Ive tried 2 different graphic cards AMD and my GTX680 same crash only different is that its ati drivers causing the bsod and not nvidia. Ive had this problem for 1-2 years now and Im starting to think there must be something wrong with the hardware but I cant find what component is the fualty one since my computer passes every test easly.

The only reason I can think of if its that I used a program to activate my windows 7 license since the key didnt work. I dont know if this software is causing the bsod but I dont know ive reformated my computer alot of times but always used this program to activate the copy since my key is only allowed to register two times. Can this be the problem causing my bsod?

Im out of luck and I dont wish to pay 150euro for repair fee cost on the local store.

It would appear that the Video card has problems:

Have you tried the latest drivers from nVidia??

 

[frallan123]

Yes I have. I've had this problem a few months now and every different drivers giving me the same.

 

[Shintaro]

Have you tried older drivers?

 

[frallan123]

Yes I have. Im starting to think its either my HDD or PSU thatis the faulty component. Sometimes when I start my computer it always go to recovery mode since it was something wrong with windows, and sometimes my HDD just removes itself from the computer and starting to sound a bit weird even though every test I run on it passes. the PSU I have no idea how to check but I would like to OC my CPU to 4.2GHz atleast.
