BSOD on Crysis (3 times), and 1 during web browsing

remedybro · 08 Oct 2012

Recently built this computer for my friend. I'm a little confused on where to go with this, because googling his error codes result a lot of different suggestions, but I'm looking for something a bit more concise because he's new to troubleshooting PCs and over an hour away. 3 times during Crysis, and then once during a regular web browsing session.

What does he need to do?

Here are his specs:
Win 7 Pro 64 bit
Radeon HD 7850
FX-6200 6 Core 4.1 GHz
8 GB (2x4GB) G.SKiLL
ASUS M5A97 mobo

Make him run this
: Sf diagnostic tool
:SF Diagnostic Tool - Using for Troubleshooting

then upload it here

remedybro · 08 Oct 2012

here you go. I got him to enable driver verifier as well. Should he use the SF diagnostic tool if he BSODs with it enabled?

Skylais · 09 Oct 2012

Good job for already enabling, and yes that should be fine. I'll take a look the the dumps soon.
Ok run the driver verifier and upload any dumps. As well, hardware is a probably cause.

remedybro · 09 Oct 2012

Here's a new crash he got while playing BF3 with driver verify enabled.

Skylais · 09 Oct 2012

Dump was inconclusive really, but previous ones point to hardware. As you have built it, maybe you could give him instructions on how to check the seating of components. As well if it helps run these stresstest for any hardware defects.
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.)
