    Multiple different BSODs, mainly while playing games.


    Hello. I keep getting BSODs while using my computer. I'm not familiar with software and OS interfaces, so if you could break it down for me I would appreciate it a lot. I have an HP laptop dv7-1451nr. I have windows 7 ultimate x64. My laptop is around 3-3.5 years old now and I recently reformatted with the windows 7 ultimate OS. My friend look at the hardware for me and we found one RAM stick was bad and took it out so now I'm down to 2GB of RAM. The BSODs seem to happen mainly while I'm either trying to play a game, while those are the most consistent I sometimes get random BSODs doing what I can do right now on this computer. Can you help me out? I attached the dump file/ system report zip file.

    Do you have an anti-virus installed?

    Test your RAM using Memtest86+. Let it run until 6-8 passes have completed or errors have been found.
    RAM - Test with Memtest86+

    Enable Driver Verifier. Enabling this should hopefully crash your system and then point to the faulty driver that is causing problems. However before you do, it is advised that you create a system restore point and backup first.
