Thanks! I completely missed that on their site. I wasn't looking for "Legacy"... Doh.

BFG Tech is out of business, so does anyone know of a legit site that has drivers? I have a 680i SLI mobo and can't get drivers for it.

I got the replacement, used card today and it booted right up. So it was the video card. I'm glad it was a cheap solution. Thanks for all the help and suggestions!

I went ahead and got a card for $30 on eBay so we'll see. Fingers crossed. So even if that's not it or if the card doesn't last long I'm not out a bunch of money. The hotfix and new driver (which I thought I did, but didn't) both say they won't install in Safe Mode. I don't get how they make a...

Will do, I forgot that the other day. I did reinstall drivers with the same results. The more I find online about this, and after testing the RAM, it sounds like a graphics card issue. I found one cheap so I may go ahead and get it just to rule that out.

Okay I ran Memtest for like 4 hours and it did 4 passes with zero errors. So I'm guessing memory is fine. I cleared CMOS and no change. I did notice that during boot the device list says all four memory controllers' IRQ is NA, as well as SMBus cntrlr is NA. I don't remember if they should have...

PSU is the newest thing in it, so I doubt it's that. It's a Corsair 1000w, one of the newer ones with modular plugs. I'm going to run Memtest86 later. I tried the stupid Windows Memory Diagnostic thing, but it never gave me results, then tried to boot to Windows. Then Event Viewer didn't show...

The cable is fine because I checked the monitor/cable on my main PC. I never even thought of the memory though. I just searched how to check it and one of the problems sounds exactly what I'm experiencing. I'll check that tomorrow. I hope that's it, because it's cheaper than a mobo! Thanks!

Anybody? I figured out the file that caused the BSOD was ntoskml.exe, but my main problem is the graphics. I have to reboot multiple times before I can see the screen or else it's all gibberish on the POST screen. I know the monitor/cable is working fine, so it's something with the the graphics...

A few days back I was using my older PC (QX6700, nforce 680sli mobo, 4GB RAM, BFG Tech GTX 285 OC) started getting artifacts all over the desktop. I rebooted and it went back to normal. The day after it immediately had artifacts all over the picture when the PC first started. Then it would start...
