BSOD mostly while watching videos and playing games.

squurellkiller · 15 Jun 2015

Ok, so my computer started freezing about a week now while either playing videos or playing games. It doesn't happen right away though, happens randomly while playing games or watching videos. I can't remember if it happened while doing something else. Most of the time, the sound just bugs and loops and the screen freezes. Other times the pc freezes and immediately restarts. The BSOD only happened twice, the first time it didn't even display the full BSOD screen, just the top right of the screen. The last time it happened it showed the full BSOD and I took a picture. I could provide pictures if needed but i guess the information is already included in this file I attached. I ran a virus scan on Microsoft Security Essentials but nothing came up. I also just ran 1 pass of Memtest with no errors, but i will run it again overnight for more passes. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Debugging Details:

Please run Seatools for DOS SeaTools for DOS and Windows - How to Use Please run the short AND the long test. If you find no problems there,

Please Run Memtest86+

Information

Please download from this site only http://www.memtest.org/ in the middle of the page are the Download links, you can download the ISO.zip or the Auto USB Flash Drive installer.zip

Extract the Zip file. If you chose the ISO image, burn it to a CD using Windows Disk Image Burner or any Image burner you may have. If you downloaded the Auto USB installer, extract it, insert your USB 2.0 Flash Drive and take note of the drive letter. Run the installer, select the Flash Drive Letter, check the format box and press next. It will install memtest86+ to a flash drive. You can use either V4.20 or V5.01. Boot from your selected media. If you use V5.01 it will tell you to press certain buttons at the start, please press no buttons. The test will begin on it's own and continue to run until you stop it. It needs to run for 8 complete passes or until you receive an error. If you receive an error, stop the test. Even 1 error is a fail. Each pass tests a different part of the ram and each of the 10 tests in each pass tests something different. It takes a minimum of 8 passes to completely test the ram, more passes are better. It is quite a long test and will take several hours depending on how much ram you have. Due to the time length it is best to run overnight. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask

I ran it overnight. I got 8 GB of ram (2x4gb). I'll wait for 8 passes but this is what I got so far. Is it normal that its only using 1 core?

essenbe · 16 Jun 2015

You are not running the memtest86+ I linked to in my post, and it does make a difference. Please read the firs information box at the top of the post. And, yes it is normal to use 1 core.

squurellkiller · 16 Jun 2015

OK, sorry I thought that was the one I already had. I'll run yours overnight.

essenbe · 16 Jun 2015

OK, no problem.

squurellkiller · 16 Jun 2015

Ran the seatools and it passed both short and long tests. Will run the memtest86 tonight and post results tomorrow.

essenbe · 16 Jun 2015

Ok, sounds good.

squurellkiller · 17 Jun 2015

Ok, so i ran memtest86 for 9 passes and this is the results. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8U...ew?usp=sharing. For some reason uploading the attachment didn't work.

The next BSOD, please upload the BSOD posting instructions again. In the mean time, please open an elevated command prompt ( click start, type cmd in the search box, right click on the cmd entry and select run as administrator) in the black box that opens, copy/paste sfc /scannow. If you decide to type it, notice the space between the sfc and the /. It is a system file checker which will scan your system files and attempt to correct any missing or corrupt files. What we want are the results to say windows found no integrity violations. If it says files were found but could not be repaired, close the box, reboot and run it again, after opening the administrative command prompt. You may have to reboot and run it three times for it to repair all system files. If it can't repair them after 3 reboots, let us know.
