Solved BSOD while playing flash games or listening to music on youtube

sabwjawdjw · Dec 24, 2012

I cannot figure this out. I have done several fresh installs. Made sure everything is seated properly. Any help? I keep getting a BSOD while doing simple things on the internet. Such as flash games or youtube or even just playing Spider Solitare. But I can play BF3 or Black ops 2 for several hours with no problem.

first try to check your system from viruses with antivirus rescue disk.

Have ran a virus check with Avast and AVG. Uninstalling each in between so they didn't interfere with each other. Both came back fine.

Okay so I did the only thing I could I exchanged my 7970 video card with another I have in a WORKING computer also memory. And still I get BSOD. I tried reinstalling flash and that didnt work. Did a fresh install and that didnt work. I finally went to Vista. NO BSOD! But when I go back to 7 it crashes. Has to be a driver right? Which one? I am lost.

seems weird, maybe its about your os installation. try to use another Win7 installation DVD
share the information you get in advance

Okay so after doing test after test of one thing install at a time I got it narrowed down. Between Flash, Ethernet driver, and Video drivers. In between those is where the bsod's start. I am updated to latest drivers on everything and latest flash. Hmmm

Hi sabwjawdjw,

I checked the 'mini dump folder; it appears to be an issue with the drivers of the 'LAN card'. Since you've re-installed Windows many times already, the 'corrupt driver' seems to be the common denominator in all incidents.

Please share the details of 'LAN driver' that you've been installing. Following are the listed drivers on the 'motherboard manufacturer website': ASUS - Motherboards- ASUS Crosshair V Formula

Please mention the exact 'file name/version' that you used for installing 'LAN drivers'; also try using a different/older version to see if that works.

Do reply with the details; would be glad to assist.

Intel Gigabit Ethernet Driver V16.4.0.0 for Windows 32/64bit XP & 32/64bit Vista & 32/64bit 7.
118,31 (MBytes) 2012.01.09 update

That is the driver I use.

sabwjawdjw · Dec 29, 2012

Okay just noticed I download the file again and uninstall driver and reinstall using the exact download. And it gives me a different driver date and driver version than what I downloaded. Maybe that is the 32bit version listed?

Hi sabwjawdjw,

Thank you for the response.

It looks like an issue with the driver; as I mentioned in my previous post, an 'incorrect driver installation' is likely to be responsible. Please share details about the 'system performance' after updating the driver; are you still experiencing any issues?

Do reply is you have any further questions. I would be glad to assist.

Thank you all for your help! It was indeed the LAN driver. I have had no crashes since changing driver. THANK YOU ALL!!! For helping me figure it out!!
