    BSOD 3 Display Yahoo messenger New EVGA card


    64 bit
    New install on new SSD
    Computer: Build
    1 year old computer
    AMD Phenom 9600 quad core
    8gb DDR2
    Graphics Card EVGA GT520
    Asus motherboard

    I recently upgraded my system w/ an SSD, Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, 8 gb Ram from 4, new graphics card cause old one died in the process. I'm running a 3 monitor display. One monitor is using the onboard VGA and the other 2 are DVI on the new card. When using Yahoo Messenger (the installed program), I get blue screen. I uninstalled it. Don't plan on re-installing it if it's giving me blue screens. Can't interpret dump files. Your help is appreciated.

    two issues


    1-BrPar64a.sys. I believe this is a brother driver. Yours is 8 years old. Update or remove it

    Best advice that I've seen about this error (from here: https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...tml#post356791 )
    What you're looking for will be in one of the following categories:

    a) BIOS bug
    b) a driver whose activity is causing the target processor to lock up
    c) a hardware defect (temperature, voltage, dust, RFI, outright borkedness...)
    So, check the drivers
    Then check the inside of the case (temperature, voltage, dust, etc).
    Then run some hardware stress tests

    Try this free video stress test: FurMark: VGA Stress Test, Graphics Card and GPU Stability Test, Burn-in Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net
    Try this free stress test: Free Software - GIMPS
    Prime95 Setup:
    - extract the contents of the zip file to a location of your choice
    - double click on the executable file
    - select "Just stress testing"
    - select the "Blend" test. If you've already run MemTest overnight you may want to run the "Small FFTs" test instead.
    - "Number of torture test threads to run" should equal the number of CPU's times 2 (if you're using hyperthreading).
    The easiest way to figure this out is to go to Task Manager...Performance tab - and see the number of boxes under CPU Usage History
    Then run the test for 6 to 24 hours - or until you get errors (whichever comes first).
    The Test selection box and the stress.txt file describes what components that the program stresses.
    Then try replacing parts.
    Then look up the versions of your BIOS to see what changes were done.

    I tried all the above. Still got a BSOD this morning. I even updated my BIOS. It appears that my computer/motherboard doesn't like to split graphics between onboard chips and graphics card, because I disconnected the onboard monitor and am running 2 displays on the graphics card. No BSOD yet (cross fingers)(knock on wood). But I don't have 3 monitors now. Just 2
