Driver Verifier

Use verifier for 36 hours. Then send us the BSOD reports

Driver Verifier
I'd suggest that you first backup your data and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Windows 7 Startup Repair feature).

In Windows 7 you can make a Startup Repair disk by going to Start....All Programs...Maintenance...Create a System Repair Disc - with Windows Vista you'll have to use your installation disk or the "Repair your computer" option at the top of the Safe Mode menu .

Then, here's the procedure:
- Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
- Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
- Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
- Select "Finish" on the next page.

Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because [/B][B]Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).

If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.
Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable

Hi.

From the dump files it doesn't look like driver verifier was enabled.

Code:

DEFAULT_BUCKET_ID:  WIN8_DRIVER_FAULT
DEFAULT_BUCKET_ID:  WIN8_DRIVER_FAULT
DEFAULT_BUCKET_ID:  WIN8_DRIVER_FAULT
DEFAULT_BUCKET_ID:  WIN8_DRIVER_FAULT

Anyway, I would like to know some history of your computer.

How old is it? Hardware age? If it is old, did you have to change any parts in the recent past?
Download and install GPU Z, go to the sensors tab and post a screenshot of it:

• GPU-Z Video card GPU Information Utility
• Screenshots and Files - Upload and Post in Seven Forums

Did the system come with Windows 8 or you've installed it by yourself? What OS were you using earlier?

Shutting down during gaming and watching videos sounds like the video card is over heating.
Have you checked for dust & debris inside the computer?

Please fill in system specs as well:
