BSOD while twitch streaming ARMA 3/The Division Beta

lazerious · 30 Jan 2016

Hey all!

I've had this computer for a year and never had any problems with BSOD until I started streaming about a month ago. I ran into a few BSOD while streaming ARMA 3 over a week or two, but not enough to really bring up any concern for me. This weekend however I was streaming the new Division Beta and I'm getting BSOD every hour almost. One time I think I was good for 2-3 hours but it usually doesn't last that long. The most recent BSOD didn't include a dump for some reason and after the previous one today I started messing with system settings like making sure stuff wasn't overclocked, dusty, and put my CPU power settings on balanced still no dice. The only dump I have is before I messed with settings so I'll include that.

Try following and see if that helps

Daemon tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known cause for BSOD's.
Please remove Daemon Tools and run the SPTD pass through remover.

Uninstall Daemon Tools
Download the SPTD standalone installer and follow these steps:
- Double click the executable to open it
- Click on the button shown below

Attachment 380803
If the button is grayed out, like in the image, there is no more SPTD installation on your system, and you can close the window

I appreciate your reply and I'll be trying that right now. On another note I was looking at another old forum that was related to the error i got which was 124 which says it involves hardware.(Finally got an error code for some reason my monitors would turn off sometimes when it blue screened) I tried to run Prime95 stress test on my cpu and it BSOD within like 7 minutes.

Correct, 0x124 is a hardware error, but there are some known programs like Daemon tools and Gigabyte software that could also trigger a hardware error.
Daemon tools uses a lot of improper coded drivers, even if the SPTD (see post above) is not installed Daemon tools could still cause crashes because of its own improper coded drivers.

~~The image you posted for the button does not work for me so I'm not sure what button you want me to press haha~~

Edit: Nevermind I'm guessing you meant the Uninstall button which is grayed out.

Do you see the image now? I just edited it

lazerious · 31 Jan 2016

Yeah it was grayed out. Tried a another Prime 95 and crashed super fast.

What test did you run with Prime95?
Prime95 doesn't only test the CPU, but also the memory depending on the test you choose.

The small FFT's test.
