was playing AA, then my game randomly turned all different colors and shortly after my screen went blank and powered off. I tried to restart.
when i restarted into safe mode my dxdiag wasn't showing any information under the display tab.
When i restarted into normal mode i get a blue screen. I took a picture with my phone.

Is my gpu done?
-
Could be. I think in Safe Mode that there's very little information displayed, "proper" drivers aren't used. You should get a hold of Driver Sweeper and delete everything "Nvidia". Then see if you can start in normal mode. If you can, download the latest Nvidia driver and see how that goes.

after removing the drivers i was able to restart into normal windows.
However, after reinstalling the nvidia driver, i got the same bluescreen :/

Did you install the same ones you previously downloaded or did you download new ones? I would download new ones in case there was something wrong with the previous ones.

^^ This. If you still get a BSOD from the latest official driver, grab OCCT and run the GPU stress test. If your computer crashes/freezes then I would be pretty sure it's the GPU that overheated or something like that. Is it under warranty?

blue screen death sucks, i always get it wheni over clock my processor too high,
far as ur's i would dl the current drivers, uninstall the ones' u have installed current

-
GeForce 8500 GT

OCCT is a stress testing program that has a pretty good GPU stresser in it. If you can stress your card without it crashing on the Microsoft drivers, perhaps you just need an older Nvidia driver. It's not like any of the 2xx or 3xx series drivers are helping your 8600GT out. Although with that said, I'm running the same card with the newest driver without any issues at all.
-
so basically if i can see windows at any point, my card is functioning but the drivers are the problem?
I was using the most up-to-date drivers for a solid 5 weeks.
-
No, it just means that your card is stable enough to run Windows. Faulty memory will run Windows as well.
You need to see if the card will ALWAYS crash no matter what driver is used. That's why I suggested OCCT stress test without the Nvidia drivers installed, Microsoft has basic drivers that allow the card to function. If the stress test with the MS drivers causes instability, your card (or perhaps PSU) is to blame. If the stress test works fine with the MS drivers then you should try some other Nvidia drivers.

Your card could have overheated, in that case you should first stress it with ur current drivers.
if u still get BSOD and u think it's no temp issue, update the drivers and stress it again.
If u still BSOD and it's no temp issue, ur card is either fucked or u may have some unexpected
IRQ conflict... In that case try to uninstall the card in W7 and take it to another PCIe slot...

lol some Einstein on the net found a great way to solve this :D :D
"How To Fix STOP 0x00000116 Errors
Note: The STOP 0x00000116 STOP code is rare so there's little troubleshooting information available that's specific to the error. However, since most STOP errors have similar causes, there are some basic troubleshooting steps to help fix STOP 0x00000016 issues:
1.Restart your computer if you haven't already done so.
2.The STOP 0x00000116 blue screen error may not occur again after rebooting"

The GPU 3D test wont even run.
as soon as i hit thetest button it cancels itself.
-
Weird... Can you try some older drivers from the Nvidia site? Maybe pre-2xx series?
-
did u move it to another PCI slot ?
-
lowest i can find is 275. ill try switching the slots once i install the drvier

Good. Report when ur done i'm interested to see if that had helped ;)

TY guys for the help. I ended up buying a GeForce GT 610 to hold me over until i decide to get that new computer i have been looking to buy (probably next summer).
i'm pleasantly surprised to see that its a good deal better then my old 8500 gt considering i only paid like 50 bucks for it. FPS has gone up a bit, AA3 is actually playable now. Pretty exciting. Maybe Battlefield 2 will work now!?
Thanks again fellas.
-
Oh yea, you should be able to play BF2 with that. My old 7300GS played BF2. Not that great but still, decent FPS.
If you want to get rid of your old card, let me know, I'll pay for shipping.
