andrewNZ: A BSOD example
Thanks, my problem is software related... So I probably need to do a reinstall, never done one before and I'm nervous but I guess everyone needs to learn to do it at some point.

MaxLV: The Bluescreen is reporting the ATI3diag.dll is the cause of your problems. This is a Graphics card driver file.
Download the latest drivers from the net for the graphics card.
I would uninstall the ATI Graphics card drivers in Hardware Manager in Windows/Control Panel, remove the Graphics card completely, and reboot. Check the Bios and make sure it's using the onboard Graphics
See if you still get the Blue screens.
If not then try installing the Graphics card again but dont install the drivers yet. Check the bios, make sure it's using the Graphics card, not the onboard graphics.
See if you get the Blue screens when running the graphics card using windows (default) drivers.
If not then I would try installing the graphics card drivers downloaded from the net, rather than the ones on any CD or DVD install disk.
Hopefully that will solve the Blue screen problem.
BTW, all the websites I looked at for your graphics card say it's Nvidia based, not ATI. Not sure why an ATI driver would be required for an Nvidia based graphics card.

NO, that's an EXAMPLE picture...
richms: I have had blue screens on idle before. Was the cpu fan throttling back and not cooling the other stuff enough.
Try winding all the fans to full speed always in the bios and see if it helps. I did touch the other mobo heat sinks and they were leave marks on finger hot when the cpu fan was just idling along.
Jarno: You can try looking at the dumps using BlueScreenView. It's not showing any program-related info in the dump you provided, so I think it is hardware related and not software.
