    BSOD playing Dota2


    BSODs only happen during Dota2. I haven't played many other games I don't know if its computer games that cause the BSOD or just Dota2.

    Install Service pack 1 and all other windows updates. Otherwise the system will remain vulnerable to threats.
    Code:
    Windows 7 Kernel Version 7600 MP (8 procs) Free x64
    Product: WinNt, suite: TerminalServer SingleUserTS
    Built by: 7600.16385.amd64fre.win7_rtm.090713-1255
    Learn how to install Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
    Service Pack Center - Microsoft Windows

    Test your RAM modules for possible errors.
    How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+
    Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight.

    If memtest comes clean, enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.
    Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
    Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

       Information
    Why Driver Verifier:
    It puts a stress on the drivers, ans so it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.

    How Can we know that DV is enabled:
    It will make the system bit of slow, laggy.

       Warning
    Before enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.

    If there is no points, make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.

       Tip



    Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.

    Edit:
    Arc,
    Sorry, crappy internet connection here

    jonathanwu,

    STOP 0x0000001A: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
    Usual causes:
    Device driver, memory, kernel

    STOP 0x0000001E: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
    Usual causes:
    Device driver, hardware, System service, compatibility, Remote control programs, memory, BIOS

    STOP 0x0000003B: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
    Usual causes:
    System service, Device driver, graphics driver, ?memory

    STOP 0x0000007F: UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP
    Usual causes:
    Memory corruption, Hardware (memory in particular), Overclocking failure, Installing a faulty or mismatched hardware (especially memory) or a failure after installing it, 3rd party firewall, Device drivers, SCSI/network/BIOS updates needed, Improperly seated cards, Incompatible storage devices, Overclocking, Virus scanner, Backup tool, Bad motherboard, Missing Service Pack

    STOP 0x000000C2: BAD_POOL_CALLER
    Usual causes:
    Device driver, ?Memory

    ___________________________________________

    - Check your RAM. Your dump files indicate possible memory corruption, especially the Bugcheck 7F.
    RAM - Test with Memtest86+
    Make at least 8 passes. also take note on point #3.

    See Arc's post above

    - Do you, by any chance, overclock? If yes, return to stock settings. Overclock often results in system instability
    Code:
    4: kd> !sysinfo cpuspeed
    CPUID:        "Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU         860  @ 2.80GHz"
    MaxSpeed:     2800
    CurrentSpeed: 2801
    - Try to update your DirectX drivers as it is causing the crash also
    Code:
        Loaded symbol image file: dxgkrnl.sys
        Image path: \SystemRoot\System32\drivers\dxgkrnl.sys
        Image name: dxgkrnl.sys
        Timestamp:        Tue Jul 14 06:38:56 2009 (4A5BC590)
    Download DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer from Official Microsoft Download Center

    - Check for possible system file damage
    On elevated command prompt, run these two commands:
    chkdsk /r /f
    SFC /scannow

    Let us know the results (Arc's catchprase )

    This means a trap occurred in kernel mode, and it's a trap of a kind
    that the kernel isn't allowed to have/catch (bound trap) or that
    is always instant death (double fault).  The first number in the
    bugcheck params is the number of the trap (8 = double fault, etc)
    Consult an Intel x86 family manual to learn more about what these
    traps are. Here is a *portion* of those codes:
    If kv shows a taskGate
            use .tss on the part before the colon, then kv.
    Else if kv shows a trapframe
            use .trap on that value
    Else
            .trap on the appropriate frame will show where the trap was taken
            (on x86, this will be the ebp that goes with the procedure KiTrap)
    Endif
    kb will then show the corrected stack.

    Cipley,

    I don't know if my computer is overclocked. I did reset my bios to optimal settings recently (this was after the crashes started).

    I see that you have installed Service Pack 1. What about the other thing? You enabled Driver Verifier, does that mean that memtest came clean? How many passes you ran memtest?

    Scan the system for possible virus infection with the following programs.

    i ran memtest before i started this forum. I got around 7 passes. I didnt run memtest after that because my computer had stopped crashing. I recently moved my setup and my harddrive started making a weird sound at start up and sometimes while running. This is my hdd not my ssd, and my computer started crashing again.

    Try to roll it back to an earlier version you installed, as the latest one causes issues in some cases.
    Device Manager - Roll Back Driver

    Also you need to enable Driver Verifier as suggested earlier, in the second post of the thread.

    As you are thinking about the storage devices, check that the firmware of the OCZ-VERTEX3 SSD is up to date. OCZ Toolbox: Firmware & BIOS Updates

    Let us know the situation.
