BSOD while playing games Locale ID 2057.

Thanks to jcgriff2:

Bring up elevated Admin cmd prompt -
START | type cmd.exe | RIGHT-click on cmd.exe | "Run as Administrator" | type/ paste the following -

Code:

where /r c:\ /f /t AODDrive*.* > 0 & start notepad 0

It may take a few minutes.

A Notepad will open wth the results.

Please post the results here.

Beyond that, try the video tests here: Additional Hardware Diagnostics

OK, try this to get rid of the bugger!:
If AODDriver2.sys is still present and the software/device isn't present and the driver isn't needed - then please do this:

- create a System Restore point.
- create a System Repair disc and ensure that it works. To do this, go to Start...All Programs...Maintenance...Create a System Repair Disc
- uninstall all ATI video stuff using Control Panel...Programs...Uninstall a program (this may make the next 3 steps unnecessary - if so, just continue on).

- check in services.msc to see if there is an AOD service. If there is, set it to "Disabled" for the startup type.
- then disable any startups that name AODDriver2.sys using Autoruns (free from here: Autoruns for Windows )
- rename AODDriver2.sys to AODDriver2.BAD (it's probably in C:\Windows\System32\drivers)
----------01 June 2012 - Owner found AOD in C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Fuel\amd64

- reboot and see if that fixes the problem(s). Check in C:\Windows\System32\drivers (or the other folder) to be sure that it stays renamed.
- install fresh video drivers using the procedure here: ATI video cards - DRIVER ONLY installation procedure
DO NOT install the full Catalyst Control Center package!!!

This is most likely a hardware problem - and most likely associated with your video card (although the motherboard is a possibility also). My suspicion is the video card or the mobo - but I've been wrong before!

If you've uninstalled the video drivers, and then reinstalled them according to my instructions we can probably rule out the drivers.

Run these free hardware tests: Hardware Diagnostics
Let us know the results as you run them - and we'll move on from there if you complete them without incident.

The following info is just FYI, I've already addressed the issues that I saw in the above paragraphs

Please ensure that you've run all of the tests - as the next step involves hardware stripdown and is a genuine PITA!
