    BSOD Playing Dragon Age after reinstall of Windows 7


    Long story short.. Had to reinstall my OS after getting a nasty virus over a year ago. After that point I would get BSOD while playing games such as Skyrim and Dragon Age. These were games I had no problem with before the reinstall.
    At that point I sought help on here and other forums. I honestly just gave up finally and just played other games that did not cause BSOD.

    Yesterday I decided to give it another try and I reinstalled windows again. I reinstalled Dragon Age this morning and was able to play a few hours until I had a BSOD.
    I am fairly sure I got all the correct drivers back in order after the reinstall. Any help would be great.

    Ive attached the file from the SF Diag Tool.

    Code:
    BugCheck BE, {2051f, 90f000013a555005, fffff88002f22cd0, a}
    
    Probably caused by : ntkrnlmp.exe ( nt! ?? ::FNODOBFM::`string'+4333b )
    Code:
    Usual causes:  Device driver, Memory
    A driver has attempted to write to a read-only memory, this could also be due to outdated firmware.

    Code:
    0: kd> lmvm atikmpag
    start             end                 module name

    1. Download Driver
    2. Start Type: Device Manager
    3. Expand Display Adapters
    4. Right-Click Driver Name, Uninstall
    5. Reboot
    6. Run Driver Sweeper
    7. Reboot
    8. Install Downloaded Driver

    Driver Sweeper will scan for any left over files from the old driver, old driver files can cause conflicts with new driver installations. Create a System Restore point beforehand, in case any problems or issues arise.

    Driver Sweeper:

    Remove:

    Code:
    Start Menu\Programs\AVG
    AVG is known to cause BSODs, it's best to remove this program using the official AVG Removal Tool.

    Install and perform full scans with:

    All right finally had a chance to do everything you said BlueRobot. Was able to get a few hours of game play in and then I had a CTD of Dragon Age. I guess that's better than a BSOD though.

    Looking through the Event Viewer I found Event 1000 Application Error with the following info:

    Faulting application name: DAOrigins.exe, version: 1.5.13263.0, time stamp: 0x4eb1a54c
    Faulting module name: DAOrigins.exe, version: 1.5.13263.0, time stamp: 0x4eb1a54c
    Exception code: 0xc0000005
    Fault offset: 0x00623389
    Faulting process id: 0xa10
    Faulting application start time: 0x01ce3c6ce7a1b6b3
    Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Dragon Age\bin_ship\DAOrigins.exe
    Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Dragon Age\bin_ship\DAOrigins.exe
    Report Id: 3b0710d3-a861-11e2-a73a-842b2bbbbf67

    Any ideas? Thanks very much for your help so far.

    0xc0000005 is usually linked to drivers referencing invalid or non-existent memory addresses, which also could be corrupted. Poorly written drivers can also cause this problem.

    What were the results of the scans? Did you update the driver? Remove AVG?

    I did every thing you said to do in your first response. Removed AVG, uninstalled the diver, ran driver sweeper, reinstalled the driver, installed and scanned with Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentials. Neither found anything.

    Run Memtest86+ for least 7-9 passes, and preferably overnight as it can take a while to fully complete.

    Test each RAM stick individually, if an error is found then move the same RAM stick into the next DIMM slot and test again, if errors are found for the same RAM stick in every available slot then you have a faulty RAM module. On the other hand, if no errors are found in the next slot or the other slots for the same RAM module, then you have a faulty DIMM slot.

    Test each RAM stick and every motherboard DIMM slot available.

    No code has to be inserted here. It is a RAM, a bad RAM.

    But if you have got a result like that:
    No code has to be inserted here. It is a motherboard issue. The particular slot is bad.
