    Random BSODs while playing WoW/TF2, browsing internet.


    ...and my PC will start normally after like it never happened. This has happened more than four times now. Has even happened once on the desktop. It dumps files and I haven't been able to snag error codes, so I hope that the attached file is enough help in determining whats wrong. Either that or I need to write down codes frantically next time it happens.

    I run Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentials frequently(though I haven't changed any settings and am not sure how to do more thorough scans.)

    Thank you!

    Please update your:

    Sound driver (8/16/2010)
    Radeon Video Card driver (4/20/2011) Not bad, but might be newer
    Realtek Network Card driver (3/2/2009) Critical upgrade

    Odd. I tried updating them from the Device Manager but no luck. I'll just find them online. Thanks again!

    I updated all the drivers. However, I'm still getting BSODs. I'd imagine its because I don't have the right drivers. Realtek drivers are incredibly hard to find.

    Alright, I managed to run the tests again. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this. If it's just me not finding the most updated drivers then awesome, I'll keep looking. Thanks again!

    Please help, the frequency is getting progressively worse.

    I should also note that when I boot, sometimes it will BSOD.

    I ran the .exe and it said that the newest DirectX was installed.

    The only Realtek Network Driver I could find was an "all in one" package that was on their site.

    So I'm guessing we've run into a wall?

    It was pointing to DirectX, which of course may or may not be the problem. But it most likely is a driver problem. We may need somebody else to weigh in.
