BSOD whilst gaming, error 0x0000001a
Hello,
Recently while running games such as Team Fortress 2 (resulting in the first dump file, 7/3/2012 5:03 PM - 070312-15366-01.dmp) and Civilization V (the second dump file, just 2 hours ago - 070412-19125-01.dmp) the game has froze and consequently a BSOD popped up immediately after.
I have not witnessed this error prior to yesterday albeit I have came back to my computer telling me it had just recovered from a BSOD (in the same way it did when I rebooted after the more recent ones. There have been no .dmp files for these, however.)
I have peered into the dump files and the errors seem to point to two files:
- ntoskrnl.exe
- wind32k.sys
Both labeled under Bug Check String as "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT".
Both are error 0x0000001a.
System Specifications:
Everything has been bought/installed as of March 2012. (Bought 21st, built ~27th)
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium x64
- Installed myself, as this is a custom-built computer (OEM)
- Original installed OS (have not reformatted)
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
MB: ASrock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3
CPU: Intel i5-2500k (was overclocked to 4.5Ghz during crashes, although heat is not a problem. Have down-clocked since the previous BSOD to 4.2Ghz)
GPU: MSi Nvidia GTX560Ti 2GB
As for memtest86, I will run that when I have time. I have a CD made to boot up and run the test while I sleep (7+ hours for 7-8 cycles). I am posting here now to make sure my suspicions are in the right place (memory problem, I am guessing)
The files pertaining to this error have been attached below.
Will look forward to a reply and a whole-hearted thank you in advance!
If there is any bit of information you need, I will try my best to provide.
In relation to the report saying that I have no antivirus, I have Windows Security Essentials on and fully updated.
