Having some blue screen issues...first time posting.

Here's the information that the rules thread asks for:

-My Windows is a 64bit that came installed on my Dell Inspiron 15R N5010

I think I attached the ZIP file with the information in it. Any help would be great. It's been doing this sporadically. I play Sims 3 and I mostly notice it crashing out while I'm in-game. If anyone knows how to fix it I'd really appreciate the help.

Caused by 2 things.

1-your video driver re-install with newest using these.

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


Or Phyxion.net - Driver Sweeper

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


2- Your Symantec. Remove and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials

Download and run the Norton Removal Tool to uninstall your Norton product | Norton Support

Virus, Spyware & Malware Protection | Microsoft Security Essentials

Thank you, ZigZag :) I'll try to see if I can figure out what I'm doing here. Is the Security Essentials comparable to Norton?

Oh! Another thing is I have no idea what I'm doing...

Where do I find the newest version of my graphics driver?

Not sure what the make/model is, it's not an external attachment so I'm assuming it's onboard.

How To Find Drivers:

- search Google for the name of the driver
- compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
- visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
- if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.

- - The most common drivers are listed on this page: Driver Reference Driver Reference
- - Driver manufacturer links are on this page: Drivers and Downloads

It is a good light weight malware app. It uses less resource than Norton and crashes far less. Each has their proponents. I dont use MSE nor Norton myself.
