hi, while im playing WoW, my computer will randomly BSOD from once a day to like 2-3 in a hour, and the errors i am getting keep changing, ive already reformated my laptop, and updated all my drivers for everything, and im still at a lose

We do need the DMP file as it contains the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible.

If you are overclocking STOP

You may be able to get the DMP files without crashing by booting into safe mode (F8) with networking.

To enable us to assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder.

The procedure:

Quote:

* Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another (temporary) location somewhere on your machine.
* Zip up the copy.
* Attach the ZIP archive to your post using the "paperclip" (file attachments) button.
*If the files are too large please upload them to a file sharing service like "Rapidshare" and put a link to them in your reply.

To ensure minidumps are enabled:

Quote:

* Go to Start, in the Search Box type: sysdm.cpl, press Enter.
* Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button.
* Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked.
* Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies).
* Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump.
* OK your way out.
* Reboot if changes have been made.

Vast majority of these were caused by your directX.

Diagnosing basic problems with DirectX

WhoDatDur · 30 Mar 2012

i have tryed to do what it said in the advanced screen res tab, but the change settings button is whited out so i can not select it, and when i tryed to open the dxdiag i got a error RICHED32.dll

WhoDatDur · 30 Mar 2012

so i tried to update direct x, to hopefully fix the problem, i got the dxdiag working, but when i tried to update direct x it would just fail.

i found another post on here on how to get my direct x to install, and i successfully did, but even though i still crashed about a hour later and here are the new BSOD files

thanks for all the help.

There are many possible causes. Heat, power, configuration conflict, etc.

Does it happen in most games, or is it solely in 1?

At some point you may want to start thinking about a re-install/ re-fresh to eliminate software as a possibility.

It seems like hardware, and I am thinking first you should look at heat. You should download cpu-z and gpu-z (both free) to keep an eye on the temps.
