Just updated it to 291 got it back from rma with a new mainboard, they had the driver at factory 266, updated the driver along with all other updates today.. Was getting alot of screen tearing and flickering before I got this error... Either way I think I'm going to send it back in for Mason to look at it this time, or his techs... 4th RMA of fun wee here we go lol

Any suggestions as it says its a uncorrectable hardware error?

I'd try a clean install of 295.73 or 285.62 first.

I would go with the suggestions to @dstrakele and see if a GPU downgrade fixes your issue.

With the 291 driver you installed, did you install the driver from nVidia or Asus support?

You could download WhoCrashed 3.04 from this site:
http://www.resplendence.com/downloads

And see if that program can provide any more information about the BSOD. Easy to use, click on "analyze" and done 🙂

I'm really tired of installing and uninstalling graphic drivers on this machine, thats why I sent it in in the first place. Because I was getting kernel error's Nvidia (insert any graphics card number in here I've rolled back, forward, beta every driver known to man ) has stopped responding adn recovered successfully.. And now I get this, I don't know what is wrong with this machine.. Before they replaced the graphics card/mainboard I was never getting tearing on anything like I did today.. only the kernel error's when I was on the desk top or surfing the web.. This is the first time I've ever had anything happen like this.. with my machine.. I am going to try and reboot the machine and see how it acts.. Then uninstall and reinstall driver 285.62 But regardless I think just to be safe since its only been again 6 hours into having the machine back I'm going to send it in again .. :((

I downloaded my nvidia driver from their website.. not asus Just rebooted my machine, hung on black screen for like 3 mins before it booted up the safe mode screen.

Started windows blue win 7 screen came up and then went away hung on a black screen for another 2 mins, going from black to grey then back to black..

Windows finally booted up, but kept getting white horizontal blocks in the left corner...

That doesn't sound good at all.
I am no expert when it comes to this, but for me it sound like the GPU is almost dead.

How old is your notebook?

They just replaced the gpu and the mainboard and the hdd this last rma my 3rd, I just got it back today Weeps lol its less that a year old, turns a year in June on my birthday when I brought it 😞 This has been going on since January of this year.. Bizcom has had my laptop a whole month I've only had it in hours about a day this last month.. Going back again but this time Mason said he would set up the RMA gah the machine is cursed lol

Here is the info from the bsod.

2 crash dumps have been found and analyzed.
Read the topic general suggestions for troubleshooting system crashes for more information.

Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is actually responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.

I googled on "hal.dll (hal+0x12A3B)" as the look of the information that I'm reading on it could be the processor.... I'll look more into it, but it's getting late here in Norway almost 03.00 am 😛

EDIT: Okey, no I'm back to the start agian, it can be many reasons why you got that BSOD.

What you should try is to uninstall any Antivirus/spyware programs that you have, update the atheros wifi card.

And try to test the hardware so we can see if we can source the issue 🙂

http://www.pchelpforum.com/xf/threads/bluescreen-error-0x00000124.97389/page-2 go to post #21 and download those programs to check your hardware.

If you don't want to do this, then you'll have to send it in for a 4. RMA 😞

Don't say that gah really the cpu what else can they replace in this machine.. they have already done everything except for that, unlesss thats on the mainboard? I think this is just a defective laptop honestly... Thanks, for your help happy slumber 🙂
