Random BSOD's after Reimage during games DOTA
Specs
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Retail
The machine is mostly custom so I date the age of it at about 2-3 Years.
Story is this this kid asked me to fix a machine for him he had a few hundred root kits and viruses no anti virus etc... So you can imagine the machine was in bad shape. I decide to just wipe it and reimage it for him. After that was done I looked at the temps and they were extremely high so he had the machine over-clocked so I reduced the clock speeds and set it back to default clock speeds. The machine was still running hot so I pulled the mobo and fan turned out who ever built it didn't do a good job they used an entire tube of thermal grease on the processor. I removed the greased pulled the processor and noticed the idiot also had thermal grease on the bottom contacts somehow. So cleaned everything with alcohol and duster then wiped the leads clean with a eraser cleaned again with alcohol. Temps are perfect the machine runs like a dream now... I gave him the machine back he started getting BSOD on several games but he plays DOTA the most and that's where he is getting the random blue screens most of them seem to be related to direct x but im unsure. I attached the docs needed.
Thanks Guys!
