Greetings:

Sent in the screenshot so it can be checked.  And thank you for that little program there.  Been wondering how I can replicate the blue screen detail deal.  The screenshot was set on the options area.  Hope you are able to identify the situation.

Also, small question.  Do you have any suggestions on getting a very good psu for the my Alienware?  Been looking at EVGA models over 1000 watts, but would like your input before I purchase one.

Thank you very much for the assistance.

Greetings:

The cables for Nvidia have been double check to be sure.  The sleep / hibernation buttons were not used.  No Digital Power Supply available to do any test for it.

Still getting the same issue, when making the check up and see if something changed.

Any other suggestions before I have to upgrade or try another solution, let me know.

Thank you for the assistance.

With this error, first thing I would do is disable all Sleep and Hibernation settings and see how it goes.

If you still have problems:

1. Be sure NVidia 970 has a cable connected from both PCIe power cables ... both 12v rails.

2. Reseat all cables, cards, and components

3. Test Power Supply with Digital Power Supply tester (voltage and PG signal). Also, try to test some outputs (as allowed) under load for proper voltage.

Looking at that screenshot ... NVidia drivers

Clean install proper validated drivers.

or Norton ?

Uninstall Norton completely and try Win10's (free) Defender.

Did two things that prolly fixed the whole issue.

I used the DDU and when I started doing the installation I found out that Nvidia already made the new update on the diver (5/23 - version 368.22) and also I did a change on the audio.  I read in another forum about having an issue with having a computer sound and video driver sound.  Checked that I have both the nvidia driver sound on along with my realtek sound up.  Took out the nvidia sound off and started playing the game (world of warcraft) and to my relief, no issues.  Playing fine once more.  Did not reset the computer or had a freeze show up.

Thank you very much for your assistance on this issue Tesla.  Really appreciate it.
