Windows 7: BSOD playing 3D games, BCCode 116

valfader · 11 Sep 2012

Hey there, I've been having this problem for months and I've had enough of it; whenever I play 3D games (e.g. Portal, Half Life, Mirror's Edge), they only last for about ten minutes (sometimes even less), and always end up giving me BSOD. However when I play some old fashioned 2D games, everything works just fine.

Here are the BSOD specs:

I'm running Windows 7 HP 32bit, with NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT version 8.17.12.9573 (up-to-date).

Please help! I will be eternally grateful!

Probably caused by : nvlddmkm.sys ( nvlddmkm+5e0ff8 ) Sat Jan 08 02:03:58 2011 (4D27C60E) Update your NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT: Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers

Thanks

...anyone? pretty please?
The BSOD also mentions the file nvlddmkm.sys - what's with this, and can I (should I) tamper with this file somehow to fix the problem?
