Random BSODs while playing World of Warcraft
Hello,
My name is Maria and I got a problem with my Boyfriends computer. We both were playing yesterday World of Warcraft, but then he got a Bluescreen. Since I am the only one in this house who has a lot of experience with Computers, I said I gonna fix it. The computer started crashing with:
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_ HANDLED
The file that caused the crash was dxgmms1.sys
Bug Check Code: 0x1000007e
Since it was a DirectX File I thought it was the Video Card drivers, so I updated them.
Joined World of Warcraft again. After 20 minutes it crashed again. This time it was:
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Crash caused again by dxgmms1.sys AND ntoskrnl.exe
Bug Check Code: 0x00000d1
I thought OK, may he doesn't likes that driver, so I created a Restore Point and updated all out of date drivers and of course I changed the Video Card Driver again. After that I joined World of Warcraft again, the computer did run fine like 30 minutes long. Then it crashed again:
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
Caused by ntoskrnl.exe
Bug Check Code: 0x000001a
I thought may it's really the RAM or the Hard Disk so I did run 2 different Memory tests, a various bunch of times. I used Memtest86 and The Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool.
I left him the whole night on, in normal usage(no Games) and it didn't crashed.
I start to think the Video card is faulty or the motherboard. I attached the Dumpfiles.
Thanks for help,
cheers
