    Been getting repetitive BSODS lately Battlefield 3


    I have had 8 BSODs this past week all while playing Battlefield 3. I am using OEM Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit freshly installed a few weeks ago, after getting a second 6950 for crossfire. All of my drivers are up to date as far as I know. I have attached the necessary files, as well as a BlueScreenView report.

    Um, no they arent.

    Related to RTCore64.sys MSI Afterburner from Micro-Star Int'l Co. Ltd. A huge cause of BSOD's. Yours is from 2005. If you dont need it remove it, if you do update it.

    Thanks, I updated to MSI Afterburner Beta and it has an updated RTCore64.sys. I have however had a few more BSODs since. Any idea what these are from? On the most recent one, right after the bsod, windows got stuck at the welcome screen, so I had to manually reboot. Then the bios info showed my primary boot drive with (s.m.a.r.t. ERROR), when normally it is (s.m.a.r.t. OK). It failed to find the boot device so I powered down again and powered of the PSU for a few seconds and then it booted up fine. I should also mentioned that I am now using three dell u2412m monitors. I had to swap my two 6950s in their slots to use the FleX edition as the primary one (to use three monitors all connected by dvi).

    Attached the files including a BlueScreenView report in the zip this time.

    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
    An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
    interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high.  This is usually
    caused by drivers using improper addresses.
    If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: 000000000000a4e6, memory referenced
    Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL
    Arg3: 0000000000000001, bitfield :
    	bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
    	bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)

    Points to hardware. Since MSI Afterburner interfaces with hardware, this could be a result of the software installed. Is MSI Afterburner necessary for your system to run?


    Since you are running off an SSD, a few questions (I had an answer to one and provided the answer in red):
    SSDs are new technology, so a negative answer to any of the above questions can mean the hardware will not coexist in your system in a stable manner.

    I am currently using MSI Afterburner for a custom gpu fan profiles and for overclocking my gpus. I have updated my ssd firmware and updated to the latest stable bios 2301. I am trying to figure out how to know whether my chipset drivers or the disk controller
    drivers are up to date. Any advice?

    edit: Got the chipset drivers up to date and still not sure where to find controller drivers.

    Controller drivers are generally in the Motherboard Support site: ASUS - Motherboards- ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 -> Download -> OS: Windows 7 64bit -> SATA

    Unfortunately, it appears yours are not included... To determine which you have, post a screenshot of your device manager under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers by expanding this set of devices.

    To reach device manager: Start Menu -> Right click Computer -> Manage -> Device Manager from the list on the left
    Alternatively: Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager
