BSOD on Lenovo Win7 while gaming
Hi all,
I bought a used Lenovo thinkpad t420. It has Intel HD 3000 graphics, no dedicated card. I dualboot Win7Pro64bit SP1 and Ubuntu, where I also get freezes time to time, but in different situations. Windows usually crash after 30-60 minutes of playing Mafia2, now it also happened while playing Stronghold, which is not so demanding game.
I updated all drivers using Lenovo System Update, updated BIOS, uninstalled Virtual Daemon and ran a malware remover I found elsewhere on this site in safe mode. I also ran memtest for several hours with no error.
As you can see from the dumps, I get many different errors.
It's worth noting that I had to install ThinkPadFanControl, because as deafult, the fan ran always at the same speed, even up to 90°C. Since fixing the fan, the freezes happen much less often, but still.
I attach dumps and logs, please let me know if there is anything else I can do.
I'm worried it is a HW fault, maybe caused by overheating while in use by the previous owner. Anyway I'd like to try everything before giving it to the service.
Thanks guys.
