    BSOD after rolling back and then restoring GFX drivers. Various errors


    Errors are, in order of appearance, SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M, VIDEO_TDR_ERROR, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, and SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION.

    These bluescreens first started after rolling back my AMD drivers from 14.5 to 14.4. After the first BSOD, I reinstalled the most up-to-date drivers. The BSODs have become a near daily occurance, with multiple happening a day if I day try to play a game. Other than the crashing, the computer runs fine, with the exception of Skype. Around the same time as the first BSOD, any text input to Skype while in a call was greatly slowed, taking upwards of a minute to get a few words inputted. Skype usually functions normally when there is not active call.

    I've reinstalled my display drivers and the like, but this has not made a difference. Crash dumps have been included.

    Thanks! That seems to have been the problem. I had installed a couple of new RAM sticks not long before the first crash, but hadn't thought to consider them. I ran the test and it came back with errors almost immediately. I removed the new sticks and then everything passed.

    I haven't tried gaming yet, so I'll wait a bit before I mark this as solve.

    Thanks again for the help!

    No Problem! It's my duty to help.

    The corruption on the RAMs are really heavy as they affect minor tasks like Skype etc.

    Everything seems ship-shape, except Skype's still being a bother.

    Thanks again!
