The other day I downloaded and installed a program called Driver Genius which is a program that scans the whole computer to see if you have any
drivers that are out of date. Then it downloads and updates them for you. Before for I installed any of them it asked me if i wanted to make a restore point and I did. Then I installed a bunch of new drivers like one for the south bridge, one for my amd display, one for realtek audio, and a bunch more. To be honest with you I don't even know everything that was installed but I think it updated damn near everything I have. Which by the way I thought was good thing especially since I heard a lot of good things about Driver Genius. But once I restared my computer I started to have problems. The computer either randomly freezes or it goes to a blue screen that gives me a lot of info about the crash it just experienced. I tried to restore but once the restore was finished it was still doing the same thing. I am not sure how to fix it since the restore did not work so i ran ccleaner which did not work (I figured as much). Then I thought it might be a ram problem so I checked the net and found memtest. I just started running memtest and after 750% coverage it has over 8000 errors. I have no idea what that means or how to fix it or if it even has anything to due with the freezes and blue screen problem. On the blue error screen that comes up under technical information it says STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000006, 0x82E48F7C, 0x8C92FBB4, 0x8C92F790) I don't know what it means or if it is important or not so I wrote it down in case it is.
   I am running on a Toshiba labtop that has a 32 bit proccesor and has a windows 7 ultimate OS. If you need to know anything else please let me know.
Thanks for any help you can provide with this problem.

[QUOTE="spittis"]Get a Z77 chipset motherboard instead of that B75 since you got the unlocked CPU.spittis
Is MSI Z77MA-G45 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS a good choice? Also if you see any other little conflicts like this one that a noob like me might of made please point them out. Thanks for your help.
Sure, I see nothing wrong with that motherboard, nor with the rest of your build.
Edit* Actually I'd get this HD 7870 GPU instead, same price, pretty much same performance and comes with 3 games.
Wow that does seem like a much better deal. The card seems to have slightly better performance, its cheaper, has 2 fans on it for better cooling, and comes with 3 games. Thanks a lot with your fixes. You got any others or does anyone else have some input?Get a Z77 chipset motherboard instead of that B75 since you got the unlocked CPU.spittis

This is the first computer I have ever built and some input from people who are more experienced with this would be a great help. I already have a 1 TB HD and a 700 watt power supply so that is why they are not on the list. As for the monitor, if you know of one comparable to this one but better quality and/or cheaper please let me know. I am on a loose budget that needs to keep it around/below $1000 but lower without sacrificing to much quality would be helpful. If anyone knows of any current deals out there to get this stuff cheaper (or the deals that I see where they give you a game with a video card) please let me know.

I appreciate any help given. Thanks.
That graphics card is pretty weak for the amount you're spending on the other parts. If you're trying to have a decent gaming rig I recommend no less than a 7850 or GTX 660. Also 16GB of RAM is overkill, definitely drop down 8GB and put the the savings toward the GPU.General_XI updated based on your input. What do you think? Also if you know of anything that is close in quality to the stuff on my list but a bit cheaper please let me know.
Sorry, you will need to make your Newegg wishlist public, or list the parts out here, or take a screenshot of it.General_XWow sorry about that. I hit make it public but it didn't. Thanks for telling me.
