    BSOD while running games


    Doesn't matter which game, it does it for them all.
    I'm always getting a different error, or it won't tell me what it is at all.
    I don't know much about computers at all and I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with no luck. Maybe someone here can help me?
    I ran the SF Diag Tool and compressed the folder, I'll attach that.

    My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and it is a fresh install.
    I got this computer about 2 weeks ago and it's been crashing since I got it.

    Unfortunately there were no .dmp files.. navigate to c:/windows/minidump and zip up any files and add them as an attachment to your next post...

    First of all, please update this driver, it's date from 2005 is guaranteed for causing BSODs
    Code:
    ASACPI   ASACPI.sys   Mon Mar 28 09:30:36 2005 (42476C4C)
    Please visit this link: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support- download_item_mkt
    Scroll down to the Utilities category, then scroll down to the "ATK0110 driver for WindowsXP/Vista/Windows 7 32&64-bit " (it's about the 10th or 11th item down).
    Download and install it.
    Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers to check and make sure that the ASACPI.sys file is date stamped from 2009 or 2010 (NOT 2005).

    I suspect the graphic card as dxgmms1.sys was blamed in the DMP and the stop code 7E is graphic card potentially. Please download and install fresh copy of the driver
    When upgrading your graphic driver you MUST remove all traces of the current driver. In order to do that we recommend using Guru3D - Driver Sweeper

    When it is removed then download and install the fresh copy.

    Memory corruption was mentioned in the DMP, with exception code c000005, Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program. Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5 or 6 passes.

    Code:
    nvm62x64 nvm62x64.sys Sat Oct 18 04:01:06 2008 (48F8FD12)
    Update it please, it belong to nVidia Ethernet Networking Driver (nForce chipset driver)

    If you haven't known what Antivirus to use, I would recommend to use Microsoft Security Essential, it is known for BSODs free.
    http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials
    I'm used to be gamer so I've heard that Punk baster is a software that you accidentally installed when you installed your game. Go to Control Panel-->Program features and see it is there, then uninstall it.
    Take step by step and try what I've suggested
    It's possible that graphic card cause all of these, or memory cause that or may be just drivers and the Punk Baster...Will see

    Regard,

    Akamai Download Manager , I think they just made some change to the way you can download the file. You will be asked
    I attached the file in case you can't download it from the site
