BSOD Problems and Programs Crashing
Ok so around a month ago I decided it was time for my PC to be upgraded, and since my dad has payed for an extended warrenty for my PC I had to take my computer to PC world, where they ran some check ups and installed another 1GB of RAM and a PNY GeForce 9600GT graphics card.

Now ever since this has happened, programs (specifically ones that use high amounts of memory) seem to be closing randomly, such as firefox or photoshop.

Also hoping to be able to play games with my upgraded PC, I tried to play some full screen games online (COD4, CS:S for example), and minutes into the game either the game closes like the other programs do or I get a BSOD. The BSOD isn't the same every time, but mostly it seems to be errors in either win32k.dll or nv4_disp.dll

Here is a copy of one that happened minutes ago before I decided I should post here:

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA

TECHNICAL INFORMATION: ***STOP 0x00000050 (0xC247B000, 0x00000000, 0xBD0C088D, 0x00000000)

***nv4disp.dll - Address BD0C088D base at BD012000, Datestamp 4a5ce1b1


From what I'm guessing it is something to do with the RAM, or possibly the power supply now that my computer has to run a graphics card which requires its own power supply (upgraded from a GeForce 6200 lol).

So I ran memtest86, and it found no errors at all.

So now I have absolutely no idea what to do, and am here asking you guys. Thanks for your help.


Here are a few specs of my computer to possibly help out:

What program are you using for the temps and voltages? If not the bios, then check those temps and voltages in the bios and post them. Also tell us what power supply brand name and watts you are using with that video card.
