Windows 7: BSOD or black screen while playing League of Legends or Full Screen YT

Built my own computer, and for a while it ran fine, but now when I try to play League of Legends it will crash often. Sometimes the game freezes, and no method of input will change the screen until I hold down the power button. In this case my speakers emit a high pitched noise. Other times the screen will go black, and the computer will automatically restart. Other times I will get a blue screen with the error code 0x00007e. Please help this is getting very annoying!



I should note that it is not often that it crashes, sometimes it will happen twice in a short time, sometimes it will take days.

BUGCHECK_STR: 0x124_AuthenticAMD =
Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try
Probably hardware. Clean out dust in the system, if you have overclocked stop and revert to original settings. The link contains the most probable solution to your problem. IF the problem cannot be fixed i suggest lowering the vcore a tad tad bit.
Here are stresstests to possibly help rule a few things out. : Stresstests:
Ram : RAM - Test with Memtest86+
General hardware: Hardware - Stress Test With Prime95 ( (Three pre-set configurations are available: Small FFTs and In-place FFTs, and Blend. Small and In-place modes primarily test the FPU and the caches of the CPU, whereas the Blend mode tests everything, including the memory.)
Graphics: Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark (Do the above Graphics test only with the latest drivers, and then Run it until the temperatures stop increasing; should be less then 10 minutes. If you don't see any crazy glitches or distortion on the screen, The test most likely passed. Take note if the Temperature gets too high, or you see Visual artifact - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia to stop the test.)
Good luck.

I have run all of the stress tests that you recommended with no error, and have yet to get another crash, but one thing that worries me is that the "Usb Controller" driver in device manager shows that it is not up to date, yet I cannot find the proper driver for my motherboard (MSI GD70-890FXA)

I am not able to use the original driver CD that came with the motherboard as my computer does not have a disk drive. I installed windows via USB.

Under device manager right click the unknown usb controller and select properties then details. From there on the dropdown menu select "Device instance path" or it may be " Device instance id" Copy and paste the id to your next post, so we can find this driver.

Sorry this took so long, here is the instance path.


PCI\VEN_1033&DEV_0194&SUBSYS_76401462&REV_04\4&37554F1B&0&0048

k thanks this should be it here: Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller, just in case run this you probably already have : http://download1.msi.com/files/downl...LiveUpdate.zip
Try this link for the correct driver :
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...ang=eng&wapkw=
or
RENESAS/NEC Drivers & Firmwares which is risky because you may have to install the firmware.

Thank you I installed the driver and device manager seems happy that it is up to date. I had not run live update but the only "updates" that it found upon scanning were suggested utilities, so I should be fine without installing those right?

Yes your fine without them, and post next bsod dumps if any occur, which they might because normally the original code is hardware based.

Okay, thank you for all of your help!

Wait a week or two and if no BSOD occur, then please post this thread as solved
