Several BSODs and crashing, need some help
Hi, thanks for taking a look at this, since I'm getting frustrated. I'm new to the forum, and not techsavvy at all, so if you need additional info let me know.
I bought a computer several months ago running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, from a reputable website where you can choose the various components. I had my brother, who is techsavvy help me out but right from the moment I turned it on it's been having problems.
It seems the graphics card is messed up. Anything that requires use of it makes the game crash in a variety of ways, depending on the game. Some go BSOD, others freeze and force me to restart. There is one in which the screen will go black, but I can still hear sound, and the only way to bring it back is to press crtl alt del, then press cancel.
The biggest problem is BSOD though, I've been getting at least 13 different ones. I'm not sure if they're all in the crashdump, since this has been going on for a long time.
The BSODs are:
Video Scheduler has encountered a fatal error
Bad pool header
Bad Pool caller
System service exception
IRQL not less or equal
Driver IRQL not less or equal
Page fault in nonpaged area (files that were mentioned here are win32k.sys, mvlddmkm.sys and dxgkrnl.sys)
Bug code USB driver
Driver has overrun stack based buffer
Video memory manager has encountered an error
APC index mismatch
Reference by pointer
Technical support from the company I bought my computer from has replaced the graphics card, memory, processor, and motherboard several times, but this doesn't seem to help.
I'd appreciate some help, thanks in advance, since I'm starting to wonder if this thing will ever get fixed.
