BSOD from Driver Verifier - attempt to solve crashing application
Hello there!
On my freshly installed Windows 7 notebook I am still having random Starcraft 2 crashes (maybe once a week or two). As part of the attempt to figure out what is causing this I have run the Windows built-in Driver Verifier (Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable)
I am not even able to boot into Windows itself, after consecutive BSODs and accompanying reboots. After disabling Driver Verifier in safe mode I am able to attach the results extracted from the SF Diagnostic Tool.
Some other information that may be applicable to my situation.
- Windows Memory Diagnostic passes no problems.
- Windows is not tweaked in any way - msconfig, ccleaner, services, etc.
- CPU, GPU temps are normal/acceptable - under SC2 GPU is 71C, CPU 86C.
- However, the Intel HM65 chip is 90C under load, and 75C while surfing/watching video. There is no heatsink on this chip.
- Short tests by Seagate SeaTools all pass (have not run the long tests).
- Running Error Scan in HD Tune also didn't show any errors.
- According to SMART I do have End-to-End Errors (value is 86), from what I've read this may or may not mean anything. Could these errors register due to the HD not having optimal physical connection? I noticed overnight the computer was acting sluggish with low IO performance, which turned out to be a physical connection issue - just had the slide the HD back in a bit.
TIA for any help!
