BSOD playing CoD4, BCCode a, only on CoD4?

As far as my original problem, I followed all of the steps here and now I crash MUCH faster. Before I could play for 10 minutes at least, sometimes an hour if I got lucky. Now I crash about 2 minutes in, very fast. Any ideas? I am at a loss here. I can't think of what has changed on my PC. I used to be able to play this game on this PC with no issues. It has been happening for a while but not as bad as it is now. Do I need a new video card?

As far as my version of Windows goes, I used to work for a well known retailer as a part time job. One of the people I worked with built this for me. From what he told me he did for a living (he also worked there part time as a 2nd job, same as me), my guess is he is the one who owned the MSDN subscription. I left that job years ago and did not keep in contact with this guy. What are my options?

Hello SirJorge,

Sorry for my late reply, it was night here and I was asleep:)

Please follow the BSOD Posting Instructions again and upload the created .zip file so that I can see the dump files.
Also, are you also getting a BSOD when you play other games, or is it only CoD?


Good luck and keep us posted,

Technically, you do not have a license for Windows 7 and need to purchase your own license for whichever version of Windows you require.
Sooner or later, your current copy will be declared invalid - depending on the usage that the original owner put his/her licenses to.

Hello SirJorge,

Have you checked the game for patches or updates? Maybe tried running it in compatibility mode?

----------

Please run Furmark again, but this time wait until the temperature reaches about 80 - 85 degrees before stopping it.

----------

If there are no updates or patches and Furmark runs without problems, I think that it might be something with the game itself instead of with your machine. If this is the case, please create a thread in the Gaming subforum asking them for advice on the matter. If you do that, please link this thread there for informational purposes.
