    BSOD 101 or game crashes durring any high end game


    I've been haveing some trouble with either game crashes or full bluescreen (error 101).
    I WAS useing twin GeForce 9600GTs in SLI, I recently upgraded to a HD 7870.
    The problem did not change, suggesting that video drivers are not the source... Although altering the drivers with the 9600GTs did seem to effect if the game crashed or full bluescreen crash.
    So basicly, the PC works fine untill I play a game (high end and/or minecraft... simple games do not trigger it) at that point, you are on borrowed time. Around 15-120 min. into gameplay, either the game will crash (fatal error bug or no bug report) OR the PC will freeze briefly followed by a blue screen BCCode 101. (Windows 7 64)

    I did a simple RAM check, but I did not leave it running for long. I have 3 sticks of 2GB in there, and haveing removed one at a time did not effect the problem. (IE: I took out each stick, leaveing 2 in for a quick and easy method to find a possable faulty RAM chip).

    Thus far, it would seem that the CPU in at haveing timeing issues with a core.
    Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6400+ 3.2 GHz

    Could it be overheating? Everything seems to work fine untill I start a game, then it crashes out roughly 30 min into playing. I'm consitering removeing the heat sink, reapplying the thermal paste, and checking if that has any effect. This much I am qualified to do; but is there a way to monitor processor heat levels durring gameplay (I'm sure standard bios heat checks would not show problems). If I can conferm a heat issue, I can consiter purchaseing a new heat sink system. Perhapse a liquid cooling kit would do the job.

    I have heard of shutting down a core via BIOS, but I've not found that in the pheonix bios menu. I consiter this a final option, but anyone with experience in this process provideing alittle insight would be helpfull. If it is a faulty core, setting affinity for a single program is unlikely to be sufficient.

    Well... I ramble on like I have a clue, but I'm clearly over my head on this one. Here are the diagnostic tool info files.

    Everything looks fine to me, so the BSOD you are getting is the 0x101 its usual causes are:

    Code:
    Device driver, BIOS bug, hardware defect
    Unfortunately the dump file its self has very little information, so on that note please:

    check your system manufacturers site for updates to your BIOS link here: ASUS Service | North America

    Check for updates to your video card driver here: http://support.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDSupportHub.aspx

    update your network drives here: Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers

    let us know if this helps

    I didnt think to update the bios... I updated to 2801. So far it seems to have done the trick.

    Well, it now takes about 12-21 seconds from the time I power it on to the time it gives me the system beep and starts loading.

    It also seems to refuse the video input (No input even durring post). Powering down and turning the power source off and on seems to fix it (via the PSU's rear switch). Video is linked to the GPU, I've not tried to bypass that or really... I havent tried anything to fix it.

    I've not yet toyed with the bios settings to try to find the solution yet (I've been rather sick). But you guys seem to enjoy a puzzle, so I'll put it up here now as I don't plan to fuss with it untill Tuesday.
