    Hello Pro´s!

    Have no clue what to do any more.

They swapped RAM 3 times , MB 4 times GPU 4 times and the blue screens still appears and i can not play for example BF3 on more then medium or its lagging ALOT! 3D mark Vantage gives me 3-4K . Im on a i7-2820QM 2,3GHz , 32GB RAM Corsair 1333MHz , GTX 580M , Windows Ultimate. Something is really wrong with this one...
    Here´s a list of the last ones who a few cant be read...

    This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
    The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system which cannot be identified at this time.

    5 times! Yeah, man if you've cleaned and scrubbed your drivers and looked in device manager to find the offending hardware/drive combo then it was be something that requires a full RMA clean/full replacement. Sucks man, good luck. Now I'm getting worried...getting yellow artifacts in BF3... thought it was just driver and poor programming...now I'm getting skittish...

    No I haven't yet... I asked the other day which software people have been using but I forgot which post that was in and haven't been able to find a reply. But no it's still running stock. It only happens in BF3. I'll try the beta drivers later today and see what happens
