    BSOD every 20 mins or so


    Hi everyone,
    I am a newbie to the forum and hope that someone might be able to help with my problem.
    I am getting BSOD practically every 10-20 mins. the message is usually mxgmms.sys. I tried swapping graphics cards to no avail.
    System is:-
    Win 7 ultimate SP1 32bit
    Intel i7 950@3.07Ghz
    4Gb Ram
    Intel SS 60Gb drive
    Samsung 1Tb SATA
    Nvidia GTX260

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thankyou

    Welcome to the forum Mysterypete.

    The first thing that I would do is to run in safe mode and see if the same occurs. If it doesn't then a driver would be my first guess.

    The second thing to try is running msconfig and disable all startup items. If you are clean after this you can add them back a few at a time until you can identify the culprit. It's a long process but the best way.

Hi, After 1 year of usage my computer decided to give up. About a week ago it started to BSOD continously, only a few minutes after it started. Unfortunately I couldn't save any files because even the ubuntu live CD didn't work. So I reinstalled windows and everything was fine, for about a day....
