so this system has been working well enough since purchase only a few BSOD which seen to be something to do with hal.dll that doesn't really matter much as its only been a few times. but this my 3Ds Max files and renders have been crashing constantly which only seems to happen on this machine. the 3Ds Max files have been tested on 5 other machines with no crashes at all so it there has to be something wrong with this system. i've uninstalled every trace of 3ds max and plugins and reinstalled and has made no difference, the renders only crash on this system compared to the other 5
today i
-updated windows 7 to latest updates
-updated nvidia driver to 320.49
-ran a windows 7 repair from disc with no errors
-ran a windows 7 memory check with no errors
-ran a disk check on the C drive with no errors
-ran a blended prime95 test and got a BSOD after about 5 mins which leads to think that the overclock is unstable? would that cause 3Ds Max to crash and the other BSOD
please help, pretty desperate
here are some of the BSOD errors
