Blue Screen while playing Far Cry 3

Poland144 · 24 Dec 2012

Hey guys, I was hoping for some help with diagnosing and fixing this bluescreen issue I'm having while gaming. I recently reinstalled windows so I'm guessing I messed up reinstalling my drivers or something. I've attached my dump file as per the directions in the stickies.

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48
Locale ID: 1033

My configuration is:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 cpu @ 3.40 GHz
12.0 GB RAM
Windows 7 Professional SP1 x64
nVidia GeForce GTX460

Thanks

Boot normally now. Go to Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers, Drivers > Beta and Legacy; search there with your cards particulars for GeForce 306.23 Driver, dated 13.9.2012 and install it.
