Why are my nvidia cards giving me BSOD?

1 Answer

Answer :

That used to happen to my desktop, when I first got it. Also a Dell, coincidentally. I called TS and read them the entire BSOD code, and they told me it was the modem; that it was probably faulty. I took the modem out (I use cable anyway) and it’s never done it since. Maybe one of your cards crapped out?
