0X0000003B Stop message

Update, I've upped the CPU voltage from 1.25 to 1.26.75.....seemed it was more than enough voltage to run my slight overclock.

Haven't had a problem in several days now. I'll keep you posted if this solved the problem for certain as it may be helpful to other users.

i am having that very issue (among others) with no OC at all.

oop, you never mentioned you were overclocking, and I never asked.

Sorry, I really should have mentioned that, but I didn't really think it was a problem since it's been set up like this for the better part of a year

I'm also having the 0x0000003b error, but it is not random. It occurs every time that I try to run a game (CoD, MoH AA & Nethack). I have a number of other games, but haven't installed them, because it appears to be a losing battle. Since I multi-boot, and haven't had this problem with any other OS, I don't believe that it is a hardware problem. Using CoD as a test case, I tried changing the compatability setting several different ways with no improvement. I added it to the DEP Exclusions...no change. Since it seemed to occur simultaneously with selecting the firewall's full screen option, I tried exiting the firewall before starting the game. That did prevent the BSOD, but the game crashed to a black screen all by it's self. I tried the latest Nvidia driver and then rolled it back to the original W7 driver with no change. I don't know, since not everybody is having this problem, but I have a hunch that it is either the Nvidia driver...or something in the installation of W7 itself.

EDIT: As a side note, I tried experimenting with Nvidia 3D settings, by turning everything on, but that caused a BSOD also. I really don't know anything about those settings, but I don't think that it should have crashed the computer.

Have you attempted to install the Vista driver?

I am also having BSOD 0x0000003b when playing games on my Windows 7 64 system.

Should I try the Vista driver?

Just searched Msdn.MS and seems to be a sys service exception caused by recent hardware change. Maybe video driver? Could you give us more info like from event viewer, or the mem dump? Also when BSOD happens on the screen it displays a stop message along with other text. that would also be helpful

Hope it helps a little.

You might, but when I tried, I got a warning that the driver wasn't compatable with the OS...but thenI got that warning on the W7 driver also.
