BSOD While Gaming

minicody · 19 Feb 2014

Hi guys I'm hoping someone smarter than I will be able to help me put with this. I'm getting the BSOD quite frequently while gaming however it seems to only happen with more system demanding games. For example it seems to never happen while playing League of Legends, but when playing something like borderlands, sanctum, or even CS:GO its just a matter of time. After the blue screen it usually has trouble booting up properly again until thing cool off a bit. My guess is its something hardware related possibly the graphics card going as its fairly old.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bueller here, two of your dumps are blaming the display driver (Different versions)

Code:

start             end                 module name

Try a clean install of your display driver.

Uninstall All nvidia items in Control Panel > Programs and features
- 3D Vision Control Driver
- 3D Vision Driver
- Graphics Driver
- HD Audio Driver
- PhysX
- nvidia Update
(Are you using nvidia chipset drivers? If so, dont uninstall anything other than those are listed).
Now follow Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling
Install the driver again. While installing, Select Custom (Advanced) install. In the next page, follow this settings:

Your other two dumps are blaming Avast,

Code:

start             end                 module name
fffff880`03ea8000 fffff880`03fa8000   aswSnx   T (no symbols)

Strictly from a BSOD analysis, I would uninstall Avast,

AV Uninstallers

And Install Microsoft Security Essentials since it is proven not to cause BSOD's,

Microsoft Security Essentials - Microsoft Windows

Hey guys looks like it happening again now not only when I'm gaming, I'm having issues even getting it to boot up now. I think it might be hardware related but honestly i have no clue. Thank you Derekimo for your recommendations seemed to help but im afraid the problem now might be more serious. Here's the new logs, if anyone could be of any assitance it would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys i thinking it may be an issue whit the ram. I ran a memory test but it froze in the middle of it. Before it froze it detected a hardware problem though. Is there anyway to identify which stick of ram is bad?

Hey just wondering if anyone had any thoughts? I'm hoping I can get it running stable so i can use it at a lan in a few weeks.
