BSOD playing dota2

Your crash dumps are not showing any finite probable cause. In such a situation, it is better to enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.
Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

Information

Why Driver Verifier:
It puts a stress on the drivers, ans so it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.

How Can we know that DV is enabled:
It will make the system bit of slow, laggy.

Warning

Before enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.

If there is no points, make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.

Tip

If you fail to get on the Desktop because of DV, Boot into Advanced Boot Options > Safe mode. Disable DV there. Now boot normally again, and try following the instruction of enabling DV again.
If you cannot boot in Safe mode too, do a System Restore to a point you made earlier.

Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.

I have Mouse and a Wireless Receiver for Xbox 360 pad.

Didnt found any update for that so i just uninstalled it, wont matter too much since i dont have any 3.0 device.

Mice using third party drivers are often problematic, so the Xbox drivers if they are old, of 2011.

What is the situation after uninstalling?

Chefaso · 09 Mar 2013

Xbox reciever drivers are from 2009 and mice drivers are from Logitech.

No more BSOD since i stopped DV.

OK .... now observe the situation .... upload the further crash dumps, if any.

1 week passed and everything seems normal. No more BSOD.

Gonna mark this as solved and reopen if the BSOD's come again.

Thank you very much for helping.
