    BSOD on fresh windows reinstall


    I reinstalled windows yesterday cause sql server 2008 gave me hard time (i couldnt remove it entirely)...before that, system was working for like 2 years...

    Also, one of the reason is often crashes and bsods in game Tribes Ascend...

    So yesterday i installed some drivers on fresh windows, some programs etc and everything was ok...then on second run, Tribes crashed and i knew at that point that the problem is hardware...

    Couple of minutes ago i started new counter strike, got bsod and i said **** it...if you guys pinpoint the problem, if not i'll have to buy new machine soon...

    details:

    win 7 ultimate x64
    not original, applied oem activator
    hardware is old 2,5 years, maybe 3
    reinstalled yesterday

    Since you have older hardware, check compatibility: Windows 7 Compatibility: Software Programs & Hardware Devices: Find Updates, Drivers, & Downloads


    Crash was somewhat inconclusive. It is easier to find patterns after multiple crashes, so we may have to wait. I did see an out of date driver: Realtek RTL8168D/8111D Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC Rt64win7.sys.

    I literary updated those drivers minutes after posting here...from this adress
    Realtek

    Also, i did windows 7 upgrade advisor and everything passed...so that's not a problem...

    I guess ill wait for next bsod (hope there arent any) and just one thing to add, i didn't have latest directx installed at a time of last bsod, and i was playing gpu intensive game, so maybe thats the cause...

    Could be DirectX related, though it usually says so. Let us know if you need help. :)
