BSOD playing Games & occasionally while watching streams
System Spec
Asus K42jv Notebook
Intel core i5 460M @2.53GHz
Windows 7 64Bit Home Premium (Full Retail Installed a few months ago)
8GB of RAM (Installed a few months ago)
I bought a Full Retail version of Windows 7 64Bit Home Premium to replace my Windows 7 Ultimate 32Bit OEM version. The idea was to install more RAM and make use of it in playing games.
The games I play are Starcraft 2, Dota 2, The Secret World & Age of Conan MMO. Somewhere after the new windows installation and the RAM installation ... Blue Screens started to occur frequently during gaming.
I tried testing Memory with memtest and Memory Diagnostics with good passes (not sure if I ran it long enough). I considered the upgrade of my Nvidia GPU driver version to be a possible cause switched from 296.10 to the current 300 version.
Lastly I'm thinking overheating hardware could be a cause. In any case I decided to take a shot and post my Laptop woes here. I hope I've done the thread correctly and attached the proper zip files as instructed.
It seems I've shot myself in the foot by trying to upgrade my laptop for better gaming ... only to result in Blue Screen issues. I've had differet Stop codes but the most frequent one I noticed is 0x000124 code.
Hope I've provided enough information and hope to hear some feedback. Thanks.
