When I upgraded my video card months ago I had problems with the video drivers causing BSODs. I fixed that problem after updating the drivers properly.

Just recently I reverted to a restore point and now the same problem appears to have come back. The restore point seems to have created a mismatch in drivers or a windows update.To fix the problem I've updated multiple drivers and I still get BSODs. It most often happens when playing a game. Sometimes the games graphics appear to be skipping and having trouble and then the BSOD happens. Although, I have had BSODs without having anything intensive running too. Many times once I restart the computer it will crash again real soon.

Recently I've been getting popup errors that say: The instruction at 0x referenced memory at 0x The memory could not be read. Also, plenty of errors that read, Display drivers have crashed and recovered. In the past, I've blue screened while at the BIOS screen. I can run pretty well just doing regular tasks, but once I start playing a game, the system becomes very unstable with lots of BSODs. Multitude of problems and errors.

All these things have failed to help:
swapped in brand new RAM sticks
brand new hard drive (old one died.)
disabled gfx card
flash updated BIOS


After all the testing, it only leaves the motherboard at fault. Unless I'm missing something? I'm just hesitant to RMA the thing because BIOSTAR support and the RMA process isn't very helpful or clear.
