BSoD in Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - brand new hardware!
Brand new computer. All hardware is bought new. So I installed Windows 7 64 on my new PC for the first time. I've had numerous BlueScreens.
I've attached all the minidump files I've got so far, and all I'm asking is for someone to analyze them for me before I try to reinstall Windows. I really want to know where the error comes from. I'd really appreciate it and would save a lot of time. I've tried to use Windbg to analyze the .dmp files myself, but I'm not familiar with the program and don't really have the expertise needed.
I've had two different BlueScreen types so far:
- "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"
- "Page Fault in Non Paged Area".
The BSoD usually happens when I'm playing Heroes of Newerth, it seems to happen at a random point of the game. I once had the BSoD appear right before completing an installation of another game.
I've checked all my drivers, and according to Windows Device Manager, they're all up to date!
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64
