BSOD playing TF2, error 0x000000d1 (amdk8.sys)

h233 · 30 Mar 2013

Hi, I am getting a BSOD when playing TF2 (Team Fortress 2).

Here is a screenshot of all the dump files that have been created most times when I play. The viewing program is BlueScreenView by Nirsoft. It will happen randomly in the middle of playing, sometime 1 hour into playtime, or 5 minutes in.

Attached is a ZIP containing the files gathered by the SF Diagnostic Tool.

Details:

Operating System
Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit SP1
CPU
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+
Windsor 90nm Technology
RAM
2.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR2 (5-5-5-18)
Motherboard
BIOSTAR Group A780L (CPU 1)
Graphics
HP w1907 (1440x900@60Hz)
ATI Radeon 3000 Graphics (Biostar Microtech Int'l)
Hard Drives
298GB Western Digital WDC WD3200AAJS-00L7A0 ATA Device (SATA)
Optical Drives
ATAPI DVD A DH16A1L ATA Device

I have updated my graphics drivers using AMD Auto update tool, as well as doing it manually. Still no dice.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hello h233.

Remove these items from startup:
No code has to be inserted here.

Here's how:

Click on the Start button
Type “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.
Select the “Startup” tab.
Deselect all items other than the antivirus.
Apply > OK
Accept then restart.

Realtek network driver is crashing here.

Code:

And that is not the latest one.

Update it from Realtek

Some hardware failures are also possible. There is some hints. So take the following tests.

Test your RAM modules for possible errors.
How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+
Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight.

Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.
Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark

Stress test the CPU.
Hardware - Stress Test With Prime95

Let us know the results.

Thank you for your reply, I will disable those programs right now.

As for the driver, I was not aware that the Network driver was crashing, all event viewers pointed to the amdk8.sys, which is the CPU processor driver so I've been trying to update that, and I had updated all my graphics drivers as well thinking that those were at fault.

As for the hardware failure, I have run memtest before for many passes (more than 10) and it has always gone through with no memory failures detected, but I will run that one again, as well as the two stress tests.
