Recently installed windows seven after having to replace my old hardrive, and now my computer will crash unexpectedly. At times, the screen will glitch. This doesn't interrupt any programs, nor stall my computer. It's more of a flicker. I fear this is a symptom. Please help.


Attached is the W7F file I was instructed to make before writing a BSOD post.

Hi,
every dmp file is the same and points to the graphic driver as the cause of the bsod:

AppleCharger.sys Thu Oct 25 01:51:02 2012
This is a Gigabyte on/off charger driver and has been known to cause bsod issues. Please remove until after trouble shoot.

GVTDrv64.sys Tue Sep 05 08:10:02 2006
Gigabyte Easy Tune 6 driver (known BSOD issues w/Win7) Please remove until after troubleshoot.

iusb3hcs.sys Mon May 21 08:23:42 2012
Intel USB3 driver. Please update: (if you use the driver utility it will probably update your Intel graphics too)
Link Removed

nvlddmkm.sys Wed Apr 04 08:41:05 2012
Graphics driver. Please update:
http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/70184/en-us

You also have a bios update pending although it doesn't seem critical. Update the above and post back with any new dmp files.
