BSOD, 0x0F4
Prior to my problems, my computer was running fine. I decide to play World of Warcraft again after
a year-long break and the Blizzard Launcher recommended that I update my drivers. I did so, and
every once in a while the game itself would crash. I would just reload it and everything would be
alright. A few days after that, every time WoW crashed, my entire computer would lock up and go to
BSOD. At first I thought WoW might be the cause of this error, but it then occurred when I was just
watching a video on Youtube, and then again when I was watching a show in the VLC player. I
invited a friend over to have a look at it, and in the middle of us talking, it just up and went
to BSOD with nothing running in the background. This has been occurring every time, and only allows me to run (or leave the computer idle) for about 40-90 minutes.
I will list off every thing we have tried here:
-Rolled back the drivers to a previous version
-Ram MemTest86 for 18 hours (no errors)
-Tested all Motherboard slots for RAM
-Tested each individual RAM stick
-Tested 2 working sticks of RAM from my friend's system
-Tested SSD and HD with Crystal Disc (showed good health)
-Attempted System Restore, but there was nothing prior to the day I updated the drivers
-Startup Repair with Windows Installation Disc
-Clean Install of Windows 7
-System File check (no errors)
-Check Disc on both SSD and HD (no errors)
-Updated all Motherboard Drivers
-Installed CPU cooler
-Replaced SATA Cables
-Reset CMOS battery
-Cleaned out and dusted case
On a side note, I am using my friends graphics card at the moment to test something, I normally
run: ATI HIS 6970.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
