BSOD - "The windows driver framework..."
Hello! Unfortunately my first post on this forum does not bear good news. lol
Let's get straight to the point, I've experienced this BSOD twice, once today and once yesterday. Notably, I was playing GTA San Andreas (Specifically SA-MP) at the time.
I can't think of any driver changes within the immediate past besides an AMD graphics driver update. Despite this, the issue didn't arise immediately after the update.
Therefore, I'm clueless as to a possible cause. I'm more than confident that all of my drivers are installed and up to date, this Windows (Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit) installation is relatively new.
System Specifications:
Motherboard - Asus Sabertooth X58
CPU - Intel Core i7 960 @3.2Ghz (Stock)
GPU - AMD HD 6970 (2GB) with the HIS Digital IceQ cooler
RAM - 12GB DDR3 1600Mhz (Kingston HyperX)
PSU - 700w OCZ ModXStream Pro
It's worth noting that my primary partition (With the OS) is on a Corsair SSD which is connected to the Marvell SATA III controller, all other data (including applications that support it) are on a 1TB Raid 1 array. Both of the 1TB drives are connected to identicle SATA II ports. GTA SA is also on these drives.
The above hardware has proven stable, this system is one of many self builds. All temperatures are more than comfortable under load. As I said, this issue has appeared out of the blue and without an obvious reason. I've previously had issues with BF3 causing the BSOD, that turned out to be an issue with the Realtek HD audio drivers and has since been resolved. Notably, BF3 runs exceptionally on this system, comfortable temperatures at the "Ultra" settings.
I believe that the cause is software (potentially driver) related. Here are the crash dumps/Minidumps, I have little experience in viewing them therefore, I've attached them to this post.
Let's identify the cause of the BSOD, shall we? :P
Thanks in advance.
