I've had a lot of issues with tf2 crashes and even "normal" BSOD's and hopefully someone can help. I've already tried to write this but it was too long and TF.TV failed the post. So I will give the last 2-3 crashes from whocrashed and say that I've tried to defrag, validate, reinstall tf2 and windows, reinstall drivers with full driver wipe, try updated and older drivers for Nvidia

Try downgrading to 306.xx or something along those lines for video card drivers.

BSODs? You sure they aren't graphics card related?

Try running some stress tests on your GPU. Google OCCT stress test, and run the program for a few hours, shouldn't crash at all.

So, I am RMAing my video card but the shitty part about it is it will take 2-3 weeks to get it back. They asked me if I wanted to do back and forth shipping for 280 some bucks for a card that cost half that price a year ago. I guess I have to spend that time with any games, the sad part is that EVGA used to be really great about this shit. I just miss the old days, where companies would stand behind their products. :(

Have you tried running your memory sticks one at a time and reproducing to make sure one isn't bad? Wouldn't hurt to just reseat them either. When you say you wiped and reinstalled drivers was that all drivers or just your gpu? Make sure your chipset drivers are up to date as well.

I did that awhile ago and still crashed, referencing the sticks.

I updated the GPU drivers, then tried fog's suggestion. The motherboard didn't really have too many updates, but I updated what they had including the bios.

I feel like it video card and as I said EVGA wants me to send it in. It will take 2-3 weeks so I wanted to make completely sure before sending it in since I don't have another PCI-Express card to use in the meantime.

So after I finish the checkdisk, I am doing to try running the video off motherboard to see if I still crash.
