BSOD playing Battlefield 3

rickwoolf123 · 05 Feb 2012

I get a BSoD after playing BF3 for any period longer than around 10-15 minutes. It locks up the computer and the picture freezes. Have attached the relevant files to help with diagnosing the problem.

My System Specs are: -

Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (Retail - installed a few months ago)
ASRock G41M-GS3
Intel Q8200
8GB RAM
BFG GTX280 OC
Corsair TX650 PSU

Thanks in advance for helping me out.

Only 4 updates installed after SP1 - most systems have more than 70. Please visit Windows Update and get all available updates.

If you're overclocking, please remove the overclock while we're troubleshooting. Let us know if the system was overclocked at the time of the last BSOD.

The memory dumps are hardware related. This is most likely a hardware error - which includes:
- overclocking
- compatibility issues
- low-level driver problems
- malware

Please start by running these free diagnostic tests: Hardware Diags

The following info is just FYI, I've already addressed the issues that I saw in the above paragraphs:
3RD PARTY DRIVERS PRESENT IN THE DUMP FILES
- Create a System Restore Point prior to doing any of this. DO NOT mess with the drivers themselves - leave the Windows\System32\drivers directory alone unless we specifically direct you to it!
- Please either update the older drivers from the device manufacturer's website - or uninstall them from your system. Reference links are included below.
- DO NOT use Windows Update or the Update Drivers function of Device Manager.
- Please feel free to post back about any drivers that you are having difficulty locating.
- Windows Update exceptions may be noted below for Windows drivers.
