    BSOD playing Battlefield 3, error 0x0000001E


    Hi Guys,

    For the past few months I have been getting very random BSOD/Crashes (the pc will just freeze and restart without getting a BSOD and then it leaves no Minidump file), and this mostly happens when playing Battlefield 3, but not always.

    The latest BSOD I got was yesterday and the error code was

    STOP: 0x0000001E (0xFFFFFFFC0000005,0xFFFFF80003AE887B2,0x0000000000000000,0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF)

    I ran memtest86 for around 2 hours with 2 passes and got no errors. I have downloaded Driver Checker and updated the few drivers that were not fully updated. This morning I started playing BF3 and my computer froze and restarted again, but with no BSOD. When I checked my Minidump folder, no file was created. No file has been created for the past month or so. It only randomly posts a minidump file to its folder. I don't know why.

    At current I am starting to get 3-5 Crashes/BSOD per week.

    Is Windows 7 . . .
    - x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? x64
    - the original installed OS on the system? Win 7 Home Premium x64
    - an OEM or full retail version? Full retail
    - OEM = came pre-installed on system
    - Full Retail = you purchased it from retailer

    - What is the age of system (hardware)? 12 months
    - What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) 12 months

    Please find attached the Windows_NT6_BSOD_jcgriff2 folder & the PERFMON HTML file.

    Many thanks in advance

    In the meantime I have also run a Chkdsk from out of windows (at startup). I have been reading many posts in the forum with issues that sound similar to mine and a lot of them say to run Chkdsk, so I did :) Don't really understand the results, but please find the event file attached.

    Windows has finished checking your disk.
    Please wait while your computer restarts.
    You received the message that Windows has made corrections to the file system. I suggest running the disk check again with Automatically fix file system errors checked (you do not need both boxes checked this time).

    • Recommend removing your Gigabyte utilities through Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Uninstall a program. They can provide software interfaces with the hardware for overclocking, and even when the overclock is not enabled, that interface can cause instability.

    • MSI Afterburner/RivaTuner is known to cause instability with systems. Please remove the software.



    Your Brother Parallel class Driver is eight years old. I strongly suggest removing the device/software associated with it.


    The problem is that your RAM is designed for newer AMD processors and you are using an older processor. It is not compatible:

    Thank you very much for your response :) I will start to work through the issues and post results once I am done.

    I have completed all the items in the list. I will also purchase some new ram in the near future. Ram that is actually compatible. Once I hopefully determine that was the result I will mark this case as solved.

    Many thanks :)

    Well you got it spot on. I changed back to my old RAM and i have run now for around a week, and no BSOD. It seems as the compatability of the RAM was the issue. I am glad you found that as I was almost starting to tear my hair out.

    Thank you so much for your help :) I will now mark this as solved.
