    BSOD while playing various games


    Hello!

    I am getting BSOD errors on occasion, as far as I can tell only when playing games.
    I was having this happen a few months ago and was going to post, but it stopped suddenly - until yesterday! Now I've had another BSOD yesterday & today. Yesterday happened while playing Skyrim. Today happened while playing Age of Empires Online. I have previously tried updating my graphics drivers - I have *not* done so recently before these past two days, when the crashes started again.

    One thing to note: It seems very random.. I can play a game for hours on end, and have no problems..

    I tried to follow the guidelines for posting, I hope it is all correct.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.


    tl;dr - BSOD while playing games. Can play for hours without it happening. Cannot reliably reproduce. Has not happened outside of a game. Thanks for your help!

    You appear to be running a DELL OEM on a retail motherboard, which is not possible unless it employs a hackers activation bypass. There is no point troubleshooting this until we can be sure the problems aren't caused by the counterfeit installation.

    My recommendation is to purchase a genuine Windows 7, then format and reinstall Windows 7.
