Will reformatting my pc solve the problem?
Will reformatting my pc solve the problem?
Just had a system scan. Yeah, I had 2 viruses removed. No BSODs now because there is now power outage (I think). Will update you if my PC will crash. Reformatting my PC is a last resort, right?.. :\
I ran Malwarebytes and the full scan said that there are no malwares found. I just got 3 BSODs now and here is the Minidump files. Could you please look at it what is the cause?

Check for hard disk file system corruption and Windows corruption:
- Run Disk Check with both boxes checked for all HDDs and with Automatically fix file system errors checked for all SSDs. Post back your logs for the checks after finding them using Check Disk (chkdsk) - Read Event Viewer Log.
For any drives that do not give the message:
Windows has checked the file system and found no problems
run disk check again as above. In other words, if it says:
Windows has made corrections to the file system
after running the disk check, run the disk check again.
- Run SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker up to three times to fix all errors with a restart in between each. Post back if it continues to show errors after a fourth run or if the first run comes back with no integrity violations.
I tried what you said, and a BSOD occured here is the DMP file. I will try it again 1 more time and see if it will permanently solve my problem. Thanks for your help.
Just got 5 BSODs. It kept on saying dxgmms.sys. Please help me I can't take these bsods anymore..
Do the following hardware checks:
- Monitor temperatures during the following tests.
Use the following programs to monitor the temperatures.
- Real Temp is a good CPU temperature monitor.
- Speccy - System Information - Free Download will monitor all hardware temperatures.
- HWiNFO, HWiNFO32 & HWiNFO64 - Hardware Information and Analysis Tools can be inaccurate for CPU temperatures, but is a good program for GPU temperature monitoring.
- Use FurMark: VGA Stress Test, Graphics Card and GPU Stability Test, Burn-in Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net to test the graphics card GPU. Then use the |MG| Video Memory Stress Test 1.7.116 Download to test your graphics card memory. Let the memory test run for at least seven passes; the more the better.
- Run Hardware - Stress Test With Prime95 to determine any hardware problems. Run all three tests for a few hours each. If you get errors, stop the test and post back here.
- Run the boot version of Memtest86+ paying close attention to Parts 2 and 3 of the tutorial. Also, in case Memtest86+ misses anything and comes up with no errors, run the extended version of the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool for at least five passes. These you may want to run overnight since they take a long time to complete (run them an hour before bed each of the next two nights and check before going to sleep that they are still running).
If you swap any memory components, follow these steps for ESD safety:
- Shut down and turn off your computer.
- Unplug all power supplies to the computer (AC Power then battery for laptops, AC power for desktops)
- Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to close the circuit and ensure all power drains from components.
- Make sure you are grounded by using proper grounding techniques, i.e. work on an anti-static workbench, anti-static desk, or an anti-static pad. Hold something metallic while touching it to the anti-static surface, or use an anti-static wristband to attach to the anti-static material while working.
Once these steps have been followed, it is safe to remove and replace components within your computer.

Furmark said it was an error. Currently downloading DirectX. VMT said that there were no errors... and also downloading prime95.. will update you. THanks for your help
EDIT: Furmark: Requires an OPEN GL 2.0.. I am using integrated graphics. Intel gma 3100
