Bsod during gaming

Hey everyone, I've been running some games on steam I Haven't had any issues before until Today. For whatever reason I Got Blue screened I have all the Drivers up to date EXCEPT the Video card but Every version I've tried besides 13.9 Is unstable for me.

Hello Ascendents, I'll try to help you. Your files you uploaded had no dump files in them, which is what we use to determine the problem. Please make sure your computer is configured for Small Memory Dump files (Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD)

With Steam you can check the integrity of your game files. Please try to do that. If the problem is one game, sometimes it is the game is poorly coded.

I have Kernal Memory dump selected and It was During SWTOR The game has it's fair share of bugs, but this game is huge so i doubt it's the games code.

Change it to small memory dumps, please.

It is changed, Will report back if it happens again.

OK, just let me know

So i had another blue screen, this time I was on the desktop downloading a game and Watching a Few youtube videos. I'm not really sure what the problem is but hopefully the zipped files can help.

Here is what your dump file says

Code:

Use !analyze -v to get detailed debugging information.
BugCheck 124, {0, fffffa800fdc6028, be000000, 100110a}
Probably caused by : GenuineIntel
Followup: MachineOwner

Code:

WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (124)
A fatal hardware error has occurred. Parameter 1 identifies the type of error
source that reported the error. Parameter 2 holds the address of the
WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure that describes the error conditon.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000000, Machine Check Exception
Arg2: fffffa800fdc6028, Address of the WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure.
Arg3: 00000000be000000, High order 32-bits of the MCi_STATUS value.
Arg4: 000000000100110a, Low order 32-bits of the MCi_STATUS value.

What that is saying is that you have a piece of hardware that is failing or has failed. Or you have a driver that is very bad which is causing a piece of hardware to act as though it is failing. It gives no information on which piece of hardware it is. I looked further and this is what happened during the crash. Some of these are just victims of the crash, but hopefully one is the cause of the crash.

Code:

*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for atikmpag.sys
 atikmpag+0x43e8f

That is your graphics driver for the graphics card, and this is the driver you are using.

Code:

 atikmpag
start             end                 module name

As you can see from the date, it is in need of updating. I am going to give you some suggestions that will give you a clean install and you will install nothing you do not need or use. All you need is the graphics driver. You do not need CCC, 3D drivers and please do not install the audio and HDMI drivers. You already have them in your Motherboard drivers and they can conflict.

I am going to give you some links that will help you get a good clean install and not have any drivers you don't need that will conflict with other drivers. Download a WHQL driver from https://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-c...ndows-7-a.html . Once you have them downloaded, uninstall you current driver from control panel. next clean up any left over drivers from following this tutorial Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling and select only ATI Display Drivers. After you have done that and rebooted, install the new driver, only select custom install and install only what you have to. Very few people need most of what they include. You do not need the audio/HDMI drivers as you already have that in your Motherboard drivers. Unless there is some reason you need them, the only thing you really need is the Display Driver.

e1d62x64+0x208c2

That is your Intel Gigabit driver.

Code:

*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for igdkmd64.sys

This one confuses me. It is your internal graphics driver and should not be there unless you have installed some program such as LucidLogix to help with video rendering and such as that. It also has to be enabled in BIOS. By Default, the Motherboard disables the Internal graphics any time it detects a PCIe Graphics card. Do you have any such software installed and did you enable it in BIOS?

This is your ESET AV. At this time I am going to consider it a victim of the crash and not a cause. The reason I am doing that is because I am prejudiced. I have the same AV you have and it has never caused a problem.

Please go to your Motherboard's web site and update all of your drivers, particularly any that were mentioned. Make sure this is your board, and these should be the latest drivers. Please update all of them except the Gigabyte utilities. GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1150 - GA-Z87X-D3H (rev. 1.x)

Please uninstall all of any Gigabyte utilities you have installed. The are know BSOD causers.

If you are overclocking anything, please set everything back to default values. I am obviously not against overclocking. But, when you are unstable, an overclock just confuses the problem and will most likely make it worse.

Anything I have asked or requested, please feel free to ask any questions you may have. If you do not understand something or any instructions I have given you, please feel free to ask. I do not mind explaining anything.

Regarding the Internal Graphics Driver, I have my Radeon 7850 connected to my Monitor using HDMI and I'm using the On board graphics on my TV using HDMI. That's why it's popping up as for the bios, I don't recall enabling it manually.

I did a Clean install of my Graphics card driver installed only the Display driver the essential one and the Control center, I also updated my Intel HD Graphics driver for my TV.
