    BSOD and Display Driver crash playing Dota 2


    I've been having BSODs continuously while playing Dota 2,and it happens only when I play Dota 2 and not other games.I started playing Dota 2 last month and the Blue Screens suddenly started to appear.I play it on the lowest settings possible.It's getting annoying having to restart my computer and play matches in the low priority pool.
    System specs:
    CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4600 @ 2.40GHz
    Motherboard: Hewlett-Packard 0B10H
    BIOS: Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG
    RAM: 4.00 GB
    HDD: ST3160815AS ATA Device
    Sound Card: Realtek High Definition Audio
    Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT
    OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit 7601 Multiprocessor Free Service Pack 1

    Welcome to 7F. There are few problems showing up here, please follow the steps outlined below.

    1: Uninstall Daemon Tools, a proven cause of BSODs.

    1. Uninstall Daemon Tools.
    2. Download the SPTD standalone installer and perform the following steps.
    3. Double click the executable to open it.
    4. Click the button shown below.

    If the button it is grayed out as shown in the image, there is no more SPTD installation on your system and you can just close the window.

    Code:

    They could do with updating. Search for the most up to date version here.

    3: Your Realtek Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet drivers have been flagged.

    Again, it's very old and needs updating. Check for the most recent version here.

    4: Avast has also been flagged.

    Code:

    There is still some sort of Avast installation on your PC. This is from a dump created at 00:05 on the 13th of March, if you uninstalled Avast after that time ignore the code below. If you uninstalled Avast before that time then download the Avast uninstaller linked below the code and run it to remove all traces of Avast.

    Code:
    fffff880`0b8ee3a8  fffff880`0630b985*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for aswSnx.sys
    *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for aswSnx.sys
     aswSnx+0x61985

    Download



    Every other problem is still pointing to your nVidia driver. Please update that driver as soon as possible by following NVIDIA Drivers - Avoid Problems

    Your nVidia drivers have been flagged again. Download this earlier version from here and follow NVIDIA Drivers - Avoid Problems for the cleanest possible install. This is the most stable nVidia we know of so please test the machine with this driver installed. If the problem persists we may have to take a look at the card itself.
