    BSOD at random times. Often on launching games


    Hi,

    Was researching this problem for a while and was hoping someone could help me out.

    Basically:

    For a while I've been getting Monitor Shut off (with computer frozen) at random times, but more often when I am either playing a game or launching one.

    This was usually solved with me resetting a computer. However, today I was updating my windows (as I deleted created a separate 'brand new' windows on another part of my hard drive (to test if it is the software that is giving me trouble).

    Anyway, as I was updating windows at night - I came back in the morning to this:

    Problem Event Name: Blue Screen
    OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3
    Locale ID: 2057

    BCCode: 9f
    BCP1 0000000000000003
    BCP2 FFFFFA80076DA060
    BCP3 FFFFF80000B9C58
    BCP4 FFFFFA800A8D91D0
    OS Version 6_1_7601
    Service Pack 1_0
    Product 768_1


    I would really appreciate any help.

    Just diagnosing the problem would be great.

    Thank you.

    5. Select one item under it, right click, uninstall.
    6. Continue the process for all items under "Disc Drives"

    Hello koolkat77

    Thank you for your response.

    I have done most of those (in the process of doing the others). I will let you know if the problem presents itself again.

    Meanwhile I have ordered a new graphics card (I was thinking of upgrading for years anyway).


    Meanwhile, in your personal opinion - do you think it's the graphics unit?

    The GPU might not be faulty itself, just the driver or the hibernate settings.
