Should not be a hardware issue; likely drivers, or software. But a completely clean boot would have proven that, so there's something more. That's why I asked @essenbe if the BSOD Collector will run in safe mode. I think it will, but want to be sure. I am positive we need to have him look at that.
(Also, yours if the first problem system I have seen here with a Quadro in it....just thinking out loud...)
I was thinking it might be a Drivers issue too .....more than software if Rob turn them off in msconfig and only booting Windows ...thought he did that once ....or twice...
I do have a second computer. I actually have five, but only one has all of my licenced 3D software. That's the one giving me issues.
And yes, I use Macrium for images.
I guess I could pull the Quadro and use the onboard VGA. Do you think that really could be the problem? It's a $2500 adapter.
Yes, he says he just tried a clean boot without success. Which tells me there's issues with the boot configuration somehow.
So you have an image from yesterday morning to restore, so we're good on that issue.
I'd like to see if you can run the BSOD Collector tool in safe mode. Can you try it?
If you can get it to run, let's do that first (in safe mode). If the Quadro is identified, we may want to pull it out of the equation at that point.
Welcome Guys ...NOW we got some BIG GUNS in here!!!! YESSSS
Sure, I can do a bootable USB. Let me know what. I'll try anything.
