all drivers up-to date: still getting BSODs

Seeing what you said and reading through recent comments, there's a possibility that your graphics card can't take certain games. You could try going to Can You Run It? and seeing if your system is supposedly up to the games you can't play. It could be that you just can't play them.

Hi Dapizz,

this shouldn't be a problem - see a screenshot below for 1 of the games which use to cause BSODs during every battle

I let my PC build especially for gaming so everything should run smoothly. For working porpuses I have my company laptop, so this PC was meant for gaming

The CPUZ info is very useful.

Windows memory test is not very good.

Use Memtest86+,

Have you been checking your temperatures?

Use Core Temp , to check the CPU temps when at idle, under load and/or testing.
Let us know the minimum and maximum temps you get.

Go to your BIOS and tell us what the CPU, RAM and integrated memory controller voltages are.

Any RAM that says 'Value' on it will likely cause you problems when stressed, like playing games.

Hi Dave!

Thank you for the comment. I ran memtest86+ about 1,5 month ago for a whole night - it didn't detect any issues. But I will give it a try again later on. I will make some photos of my BIOS and upload them soon

can I disable driver verifier already or shall this continue running in the background?

DaTa82 · 16 Apr 2011

temperature seems to be also ok

68C is high for an AMD, they usually run cool.

Let Driver Verifier run for a while longer, see if it can force a driver failure.

Running three RAM cards in a four card motherboard is not ideal, at best one of the cards will be in single channel mode.

Is this memory on your motherboard compatibility list?
A 3x2GB RAM set is usually for an Intel x58 motherboard. Sometimes they will run in an AMD board and sometimes will give you errors.
Best to get RAM specifically designed for AMD CPU/motherboards.

Do you have the Geil part number?

In your BIOS check voltages for:
Normal CPU Vcore
CPU NB VID control

It will be the same BIOS page as the first BIOS picture posted above, just scroll down to find this information.

If CPU NB VID control only shows 'Auto' then select it and increase the voltage by the smallest amount available, this should give you a voltage number to post.

With 6GB RAM you will need to make a small voltage increase to the CPU integrated memory controller, which is 'CPU NB VID control'.
Let us know the voltage setting and we can try adjusting.

Thanks Dave! It's on my second screenshot, can you pelase check that?

Hm, I got fatal error while running prime test

I see it now, it says 'Auto'.

If CPU NB VID control only shows 'Auto' then select it and increase the voltage by the smallest amount available, this should give you a voltage number to post.

When running Prime95 did you first go to the Advanced tab and select 'Round off checking'?

Did you check the stress.txt file?
