Windows 7 - BSOD while playing Skyrim SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION

Hovis · 02-09-2012

Hi there,

My computer BSOD today while playing Skyrim. If it's possible I would like to know what caused it and how I can prevent it from happening again.

I also got a BSOD on the 6th although I cannot remember what I was doing when it happened. Any help with that would also be appreciated.

Please view System Spec on my profile for system information. [Edit: just noticed there's a little drop down arrow at the bottom left of this post... you can tell I'm new around here haha]

Thanks

Thanks for the help mgorman87. I'll uninstall AMD Overdrive, however I cannot update my sound card drivers as I have the latest version... there is a newer version but it is in Beta and since I have previously had issues with it I do not want to install it. I will have to make do with Creative's drivers from June 2010.

Also do you really think it is worth updating my Realtek drivers? I have disabled my motherboards onboard audio (Realtek HD) in the BIOS. I want to keep my system free from unnecessary drivers so I would only install newer realtek drivers if it did have some sort of benefit...

Thanks for helping me with this.

That is your network driver, not sound.

HAHA I feel like a right chump now, ok thanks for telling me

Hovis · 02-11-2012

Hi again,

Since un-installing AODDriver and updating my network drivers I have still received a couple of BSODs.

However they never completed dumping the info onto my hard drive and got stuck at something like 35% or the dump didn't start at all.

The only info I got from them was:

1)
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION

Technical info: ***STOP: 0x0000003B (0x00000000C0000005, 0xFFFFFA8006A0A278, 0xFFFFF880078A0E30, 0x0000000000000000)

Dumping physical memory to disk: 35 (stuck at this/frozen).

and
2)
0x0000001E (0xFFFFFFFFC0000005, 0xFFFFF80002DD44E2, 0x0000000000000000, 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF)

- no other information apart from the generic message of "If this is the first time you've seen this stop error"... etc etc.

Another note is that when my PC got a BSOD the audio would be an odd loop of sound of about a 0.1 second section of sound, creating a harsh fuzzing sound.

I have attached another system health report that I just ran.

I don't know if anything can be found out from just the error numbers, but any help really is appreciated.

Thanks !

You only uploaded the perfmon report. I need the jcgriff report that includes all the system reports and dump files.

In the meantime, please run these hardware tests

1. Memtest86 - Run for 7-8 passes - RAM - Test with Memtest86+
2. Prime95 - Run all three tests for 3-4 hours each or until fail - Hardware - Stress Test With Prime95

Hovis · 02-12-2012

Ok I have re run the jcgriff and system health report and attached them.

For the moment i'll run the hardware tests and post back with results.

Thanks !

P.S. Please note in my previous post that I said "However they never completed dumping the info onto my hard drive and got stuck at something like 35% or the dump didn't start at all." so the jcgriff will only contain the 2 minidumps that have been previously included, as there are no new ones.
