Damn. BSOD while playing CIV 5. Here is the zip. Have run into a build this buggy without have something wrong with the hardware itself? Thanks man

Before blaming the hardware, I want you to do one more thing ....

• Download and install Driver Fusion.
• Reboot the computer in Advanced Boot Options, safe mode. Search Driver Fusion in your start menu, and remove all components of your nVidia display driver.
• If it says the the free version of Driver Fusion cannot remove all the elements, stop there and follow Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling
• Boot normally now. Go to Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers, Drivers > Beta and Legacy; search there with your cards particulars for GeForce 306.23 Driver, dated 13.9.2012 and install it.

Well, this time it is a stop 0x24.

    on the 3rd parameter and then kb to obtain a more informative stack

And I got this thing present in your system.

No code has to be inserted here.

Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known BSOD causer. Uninstall the program at first. Then download SPTD standalone installer from Disk-Tools.com, and execute the downloaded file as guided below :

• Double click to open it.
• Click this button only:
• 
• If it is grayed out, as in the picture, there is no more SPTD in your system, and you just close the window.

Uninstall these bloatware:

Code:

Start Menu\Programs\GIGABYTE 
Start Menu\Programs\GIGABYTE\AutoGreen
Start Menu\Programs\GIGABYTE\ET6

Free up the startup. Windows does not need any other program to auto start with it, but the auto start programs often conflicts and causes various problems including BSODs.

1. Click on the Start button
2. Type “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.with the "general" tab selected.
   
   • Click the "startup" tab. Click "Disable all" > Apply > OK.
   • Click on "services" tab. Check the "Hide all Microsoft Services"; Click "Disable all" > Apply > OK
   
   

Now let us know the situation. Note that now your Antivirus is also disabled, which is kinda risky. But in the present situation, the testing is needed.

Code:

fffff880`096cb2f8  fffff880`01523fd2*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for MpFilter.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for MpFilter.sys
 MpFilter+0x2bfd2

That is why we are trying to disable MSE too. It is failing at startup .... alongwith some necessary and some unnecessary applications.

Code:

Let us know how everything went. Shortly we will take proper care of MSE, after getting your results.

Just a question, is it crashing when you are not using Steam or not gaming?

The same 4E BSOD as always.

NVIDIA/AMD Video Card - Test with OCCT take both the stress test and memory test.

The Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller driver is very old.

Update it from Realtek, take the sixth one (Win7 and WinServer 2008 R2 Auto Installation Program (SID:1568649)) in the list, install it following Driver Install - Device Manager

Let us know the results.
