    BSOD while playing WoW and SWTOR


    I get the BSOD often when play WoW, and when I used to play SWTOR. I get it when there are no other programs running, and I don't have any virtual drive software installed. I tried looking up the most up-to-drivers according to EasyDriverPro, but didn't find them at the manufacturer's website. I built this system about two years ago. The pertinent information should be uploaded according the BSOD posting procedure. Thank you for any help with this.

    Welcome aboard.

    Your crashes are showing different bugchecks with different probable causes. 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.

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

    ok, Arc, its been 24 hrs and there have been no BSOD. However, I did notice a significant degradation in performance. Programs tended to hang often, and logging on to windows took about 5-10 mins for the OS to fully load. What should I do next?

    Those lags are for the verifier. Nothing else, and nothing to be worried.

    Now you may disable driver verifier.

    So, we may now infer that the crashes are not due to the drivers. Run the computer normally. If it crashes again, we are to search the reason of crashes in some place else. If you get further crashes, upload the dumps for us.

    And, best of your luck.

    BSOD while playing WoW and SWTOR


    It's been about a week since I last posted, and I am still getting the BSOD. I have uploaded a zip file with the new SF Diagnostic Tool information. Thank you for your help.

    You are to reinstall your display driver.
    Code:

    Uninstall it using Driver Fusion, then reinstall it.

    If still crashes, go bask to the earlier version when the PC was stable. Maybe the April's version of AMD Display driver was stable on your PC?
