it is an nvidia thing causing windows to do a memory dump. there are many "nv errors that have been discussed. the one in my previous post, nv4 something, and so on. i would recommend searching the evga forums, and posting a thread there as well. maybe someone there has had or does have tha same issue and maybe someone there has or had posted on this. maybe someone there has or has had a fix for this.

this issue goes back 4 years ago in google.. that doesnt make sense to me.. makes me think it must be an error on my side.. but i cant see it.. that doesnt make any sene.. this system is so stable right now and it runs so smoothe.. plays games flawlessly.. until the screen of death.. I have posted several times on evga forums but their all bull answers.. people say dumb crap like "take out your sound card" or "disable hyper threading" thats not a fix, thats a workaround and thats a garbage answer form people trying to pass the issues down the line with laziness.. I haven't gotten a response from any moderators of that site and i have posted about 10 times..

i came across somethigon the evga forums about one nv error being caused by memory degradation and that nvidia and evga were working on it. is your ram 800 Mhz or is it higher? there were a lot of people with nv bsod using the higher end modules, do you have any 800 mhz modules? i am using corsair twin2x2048 6400-c4's SLI enabled cpu max oc setting and the timings are 4-4-4-12-1t and all is well with them, you might even contact jacob on the evga forums (he is a tech and maybe he will have some answers for you, or maybe some ideas. just make sure you let him know the exact error message that causes the bsod.

i have read that it could be a driver issue, do you have the latest driver? i think it is 97.95, there is also a beta driver from 3d guru. it is really confusing i have not had a single issue with anything yet others have. if you receive the bsod again write down what causes it and i will look around and see if i can find something out for you , also send an e-mail to jacob on the evga forums and see what he says.
