Windows 7: x64 BSODs...again

m267 · 23 Jan 2010

Well after two months of mostly blue screen free life, they've returned and brought about by a game called "The Saboteur" no less! The game is notoriously unstable, not working on almost all ATi machines. Fortunately, I don't have an ATI rig, which makes the problem a little harder to pin point. 15 minutes into game or so, it blue screens, without fail, whether or not I even start the first mission. If anyone could look at my minidumps and try to figure it out, I'd be extremely appreciative. Thanks in advance!

Hi and welcome

the three dmps have three different causes. video driver, NDPRoxy, and ntoskrnl. the good news is that they are memory related.

I would
download memtestx86 and run it for at 5 passes
run a system file check
type cmd in search>right click and run as admin>sfc /scannow

If you are overclocking STOP

let us know the result of the SFC as you may have to run it more than once

I am not overclocking, nor has this system ever been overclocked for what it's worth. I ran the SFC and it did not find any integrity violations. I'm downloading the memtest now (used to have a copy of it somewhere, no luck finding it) and I'll get on that as soon as possible.

Edit: I did six passes with memtest and not a single error.

New nvidia drivers came out, should I download them?

ManOwar2 · 30 Jan 2010

I've been waiting for new drivers too, but honestly, wait 1 week then go on nvidia forums and see what kind of issue people are having. Try to find topics related to the same card model as yours.

I would rather stick with 190.38 or 190.62 for now. Others nvidia drivers of the 19x.xx series have been proved really buggy with windows x64 system and even x32 system.
