Hi Tomas, glad to see you registered. You're in good hands!


In regards to the perfmon, everything looks okay. My French is 'okay' so I just see mention of no antivirus being installed as a notification. That's about all I can see of relevance by attempting to read French :+)


Following the DMP files, they are all of the VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE (116) bugcheck. This indicates that an attempt to reset the display driver and recover from a timeout failed. This is why your screen is going black. When it's going black, your display driver is trying to recover. If and when the display driver fails to recover during the timeout period, you will be greeted with the *116 BSOD. If it can recover however, that's when everything will return and for example if you were AMD, Catalyst Control Center would say 'AMD Display Driver successfully recovered', etc.


Taking a list at the loaded drivers list, I see:




^^ Asus ATK0110 ACPI Utility (a known BSOD maker in Win7 and Win8).  Also a part of many Asus utilities. Yours is dated from 2006, the pre-2009 version is very very troublesome. I imagine you either installed this from Windows Update via Optional, or the motherboard CD?


Navigate to - P6T WS Professional - Motherboards - ASUS


and click the + next to Utilities and download ATK0110 driver for WindowsXP/Vista/Win7 32&64-bit (2009.12.07).


Moving on . . .




VDDC is the voltage, so is this the default voltage? If not, return everything to default.




If you are already on the latest video card drivers, uninstall and install a version or a few versions behind the latest to ensure it's not a latest driver only issue. If you have already experimented with the latest video card driver and many previous versions, please give the beta driver for your card a try if such is available.




If after updating the ASACPI.sys driver via the software and various different video card drivers, let's run a Memtest for NO LESS than ~8 passes (several hours) to test your RAM:



Memtest86+:


Download Memtest86+ here:


Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool


Which should I download?


You can either download the pre-compiled ISO that you would burn to a CD  and then boot from the CD, or you can download the auto-installer for  the USB key. What this will do is format your USB drive, make it a  bootable device, and then install the necessary files. Both do the same  job, it's just up to you which you choose, or which you have available  (whether it's CD or USB).


How Memtest works:


Memtest86 writes a series of test patterns to most memory addresses, reads back the data written, and compares it for errors.


The default pass does 9 different tests, varying in access patterns and  test data. A tenth test, bit fade, is selectable from the menu. It  writes all memory with zeroes, then sleeps for 90 minutes before  checking to see if bits have changed (perhaps because of refresh  problems). This is repeated with all ones for a total time of 3 hours  per pass.


Many chipsets can report RAM speeds and timings via SPD (Serial Presence  Detect) or EPP (Enhanced Performance Profiles), and some even support  changing the expected memory speed. If the expected memory speed is  overclocked, Memtest86 can test that memory performance is error-free  with these faster settings.


Some hardware is able to report the "PAT status" (PAT: enabled or PAT:  disabled). This is a reference to Intel Performance acceleration  technology; there may be BIOS settings which affect this aspect of  memory timing.


This information, if available to the program, can be displayed via a menu option.


Any other questions, they can most likely be answered by reading this great guide here:


FAQ : please read before posting


We'll start with this for now.
