    Trying to figure out what is going on with a buddies gateway. Def something wrong with the GFX card, it works in safemode but if I keep it enabled and restart into regular Win 7, BSOD. Tried various drivers and no luck here is the .dmp I opened up the panel on the back and didn't see a bunch of dust in the fan but I still plan on blasting it with compressed air in the vent later today. Ideas? Thanks guys

    You may have a bad GPU. Not much info to go on. W7 drivers? OC?

    When did this start?

    I have tried many drivers, interestingly some will just cause the computer to get stuck in a boot cycle but no BSOD, one driver even booted into windows but then device manager said the drivers weren't working....Never OC-ed GPU or CPU. The driver that booted into windows was the official driver.

    Thanks for your help
