BSOD while gaming.

From the crash dump:

Code:

This is your USB input device controller driver. Keyboard and mouse.

Keyboard:

No code has to be inserted here.

Mouse:

No code has to be inserted here.

As a test, you may change the Keyboard and mouse. Also, if the keyboard and mouse are using any third party driver, update those.

Apparently it is the only thing that I can suggest based on the latest crash dump.

Let us know how it works after implementing these changes.

It makes me feel that the situation is critical.

Here are your latest three crashes .....

Code:

BugCheck 7F, {8, 80050031, 406f8, fffff8000320c478}

Probably caused by : ntkrnlmp.exe ( nt!KiDoubleFaultAbort+b2 )

Followup: MachineOwner
---------

STOP 0x0000007F: UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP
Usual causes: Memory corruption, Hardware (memory in particular), Overclocking failure, Installing a faulty or mismatched hardware (especially memory) or a failure after installing it, 3rd party firewall, Device drivers, SCSI/network/BIOS updates needed, Improperly seated cards, Incompatible storage devices, Overclocking, Virus scanner, Backup tool, Bad motherboard, Missing Service Pack

Another one .....

Code:

BugCheck D1, {fffff500086aa302, 2, 0, fffff8800785644d}

Probably caused by : hardware ( hidusb!HumReadReport+fd )

Followup: MachineOwner
---------

STOP 0x000000D1: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Usual causes: Device driver
See what is interesting, it still locates Hidusb, and the hardware; not the hardware driver.

Another one ....

Code:

BugCheck 1E, {0, 0, 0, 0}

Probably caused by : hidusb.sys ( hidusb!HumReadCompletion+bb )

Followup: MachineOwner
---------

STOP 0x0000001E: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
Usual causes: Device driver, hardware, System service, compatibility, Remote control programs, memory, BIOS

So it easily appears that the BIOS needs to be updated ..... as BIOS is the probable cause of crash for the cases. The BIOS is very old as it is appearing.

Code:

BiosVersion = 2101   
BiosReleaseDate = 04/06/2009

And here is the info about the motherboard.

Code:

BaseBoardManufacturer = ASUSTeK Computer INC.
BaseBoardProduct = P5Q-E
BaseBoardVersion = Rev 1.xx

Neither BIOS nor chipset, no updates are available. Difficult to overcome the HIDCLASS.sys error in such a case.

But it also appears that your license is a OEM one. If you change the motherboard, the license will lapse.


So, do some other tests at first.

1. Stop overclocking.

2. Test your RAM modules for possible errors.

Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight.

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

4. Stress test the CPU.
Hardware - Stress Test With Prime95

5. Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7

If the situation remains unchanged ...... it will go on the motherboard.

I can understand your frustration.

Your CPU is slightly overclocked, as I have noticed. So there is a chance of the other hardware elements are overclocked, too. Reset the BIOS back to default, as a try.

But in such a situation, I am guessing that the motherboard might be failing. Difficult to give any verdict on it. I am asking for some more opinions on it.

When you ran memtest did you run it for 8 passes? Tere are 9-10 tests in each pass. So, tests are not passes. 8 passes will usually take 6-8 hours, so it is best run overnight. If you get errors, you can stop the test at that point.
Also, do you monitor temps while gaming. MSI's Afterburner is a good program to use for monitoring. Also, can you look in bios at the hardware monitor and tell me the values for the +3.3V, +5V and +12V.

Also, I would strongly suggest you to use an anti virus program. Install MSE from Microsoft and run a full sacn. Also, next time you play BF3, try lowering your graphics settings and see if that helps.

Arc said you are slightly overclocked. look at your ram package for the frequency, timings and voltage. If you don't have the package, it will be on a sticker on your ram. Also in bios, see what your sata controller is set to (IDE or AHCI). In bios set optimized defaults, then set the sata controller to what it is now, set the ram to the manufacturer's timings (just the first 4), frequency and voltage. set them manually. Then set the boot order. save and exit.

If you don't already have it, download and install CPUz, and post screenshots of the mainboard, memory and spd tabs. On the spd tab if the page is blank, go to the next dimm slot with the drop down box in the upper left corner of the spd page. There is one for each dimm slot.

I'm glad to hear you are running well. Thanks for letting us know. If you have further problems, we'll be right here.
