    What card did you have installed before this one, and what OS / version are you running?

      My previous card was the Radeon HD 7770 and i have windows 7. I am also now getting a BSOD that says 0x0000000000000003, 0xFFFFFA8006D3EB30, 0xFFFFFA8006D3EE10

          Go to safemode...in Control Panel/System/Hardware/ uncheck "auto restart on errors"...
          Re-boot and copy/paste the BSOD.

            This is exactly what the BSOD shows:


            A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

            A process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or been terminated.

            If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again follow
            these steps:

            Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation ask your hardware
            or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.

            If promlems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as
            shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select advanced
            startup options, and then select safe mode.

            Technical information:

            *** STOP: 0x000000F4 (0x0000000000000003, 0xFFFFFA8006D0F060, 0xFFFFFA8006D0F340, 0xFFFFF800043CF240)
