BSOD since playing SWTOR and more frequently since moving PC
Hi, I've been playing STWOR and started getting BSOD over the past few weeks but I also moved the PC to a different room 3 weeks ago and cleaned it all out (thought overheating might be the cause - it wasn't) and am stuck now looking at the dmp files, actually I can't find anything that lets me look at them, wordpad makes no sense and notepad is denied even as Admin.
So, I followed the guide and created info on last 7 dumps.
I'm an Ex. software engineer but rarely touched windows so whilst I'm very much into self help and geeky enough to follow the info, I must admit to not understanding this!
PC details,
- x86
- Was OEM with Vista, upgraded to Windows 7 retail about 9 months ago
- PC about 3 years old
Antony.
Edit - Since posting I found the tool BlueScreenView and found 3 BSOD's were caused by the wireless dongle WPN111, I do remember having a problem with this last year but am using the latest drivers for this and have tried both dongles I have. Looks like I'll have to run an ethernet cable to the PC.
The other drivers, halmacpi.dll, avgmfx86.sys (I'll remove AGV AV to check this one) and tcpip.sys are more interesting that I'l like any advice on please.
