| | BSOD/Freezing when browsing the internet and playing videogames Hey guys, This has been going on for over a year now. Every time I play video games on my computer, it freezes for a while, and the message 'NVIDIA display driver has stopped working and has successfully recovered' will appear. Other times it will freeze for a long time and I have to restart the computer. Sometimes, it crashes the computer and a BSOD will appear. Lately, BSODs have been appearing more frequently and sometimes when I'm just browsing the net, watching videos on YouTube or playing Facebook games, the computer will crash and there will be a BSOD. The BSODs' Bug Check Strings include:-
And the two files that seem to cause most of them are halmacpi.dll and ntkrnlpa.exe. I'm really clueless about what to do to fix my ailing computer. If anyone can help me solve this problem, I'll be most grateful.  |

--------- Recommended from a strict BSOD perspective, compatibility & stability compared to other antiviruses/internet security software. It is free and lightweight:-  Warning Do not start the free trial of Malware Bytes; remember to deselect that option when prompted.Run a full scan with both (separately) once downloaded, installed and updated. Are you overclocking any hardware? Try going back to a last known stable NVIDIA driver version. Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark:Monitor your temps with Speccy during this test:Video Memory Test (For 20 passes):Does you motherboard have onboard VGA? Does it crash there as well? Upload a screenshot of your hard disk using CrystalDiskInfo:
Code: BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc. V5.6B2, 28-Aug-07 If the above does not bring stability. Test your RAM in the following manner: Take memtest. Run for 8 passes and test each stick in a know good slot for an additional 6 passes. Quote: The goal is to test all the RAM sticks and all the motherboard slots. Check your motherboard manual to ensure the RAM sticks are in the recommended motherboard slots. Some motherboards have very specific slots required for the number of RAM sticks installed. If you get errors, stop the test and continue with the next step. 1. Remove all but one stick of RAM from your computer (this will be RAM stick #1), and run Memtest86 again, for 7 passes. *Be sure to note the RAM stick, use a piece of tape with a number, and note the motherboard slot.If this stick passes the test then go to step #3. 2. If RAM stick #1 has errors, repeat the test with RAM stick #2 in the same motherboard slot. *If RAM stick #2 passes, this indicates that RAM stick #1 may be bad. If you want to be absolutely sure, re-test RAM stick #1 in another known good slot. *If RAM stick #2 has errors, this indicates another possible bad RAM stick, a possible motherboard slot failure or inadequate settings.3. Test the next stick of RAM (stick #2) in the next motherboard slot. *If this RAM stick has errors repeat step #2 using a known good stick if possible, or another stick. *If this RAM stick has no errors and both sticks failed in slot#1, test RAM stick #1 in this slot.4. If you find a stick that passes the test, test it in all the other motherboard slots. If Part 2 testing shows errors, and all tests in Part 3 show errors, you will need to test the RAM sticks in another computer and/or test other RAM in your computer to identify the problem. In this way, you can identify whether it is a bad stick of RAM, a bad motherboard, or incompatibility between the sticks.  Information Errors are sometimes found after 8 passes.  Tip Do this test overnight, before going to bed. Hope this helps for now. |

| | Thanks for the response. I got a couple of questions. I'm not that good with computers, so bear with me.
Meanwhile, I've done a few of the things you asked to do. Here's the screenshot of my hard disk. I actually have two hard disks but for some reason it only shows one on the program.  And this is the result of the System File Check:  |

MSE has a much lower detection and cleaning score then Norton, I have used Norton Internet Security for over 5 years with no issues. I have run MSE alongside of it with no issues, this may be different for your system. Others here hate Norton though. The video tests can damage your GPU if you don't monitor your temps during tests. I would stop the testing if the temp gets to 90C, most GPUs have a max temp of 100C, check the specs for yours. That should tell you if it has a factory overclock too. Fill in your specs so we know what motherboard you have for BIOS updating instructions, which will be in your manual. To better help us to help you would you please add your systems specs? Here's how:SystemInfo See Your System Specs Under System Manufacturer/Model Number add whether it is a desktop or laptop and whether self built. Very important Log in to Seven Forums and you will be able to transfer the info directly to the specs page in your profile from within the System Info app. After doing this your specs will be available in each of your posts. Click on My system Specs in the lower left of this post to see how it should look. Full instructions are in the tutorial. |
