Random BSOD when playing games.

Hello, Dyybe. I'll see if I can help with your problem. You only had 1 dump file,sted 2/23/15 which is what we go by to debug. So, that isn't a lot to go on and a month old.

Please make sure your system is configured for Small Memory Dumps. Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD

The dump file listed

Code:

BugCheck 116, {fffffa800c3da2a0, fffff88003ecc848, 0, 2}

Please update your Graphics driver and see if it helps any, but I would like you to do it this way.

I am going to give you some links that will help you get a good clean install and not have any drivers you don't need that will conflict with other drivers. Download a WHQL driver from https://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-c...ndows-7-a.html . Once you have them downloaded, uninstall you current driver from control panel. next clean up any left over drivers from following this tutorial Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling and select only ATI Display Drivers. After you have done that and rebooted, install the new driver, only select custom install and install only what you have to. Very few people need most of what they include. You do not need the audio/HDMI drivers as you already have that in your Motherboard drivers. Unless there is some reason you need them, the only thing you really need is the Display Driver. Let us know if that helped any.

Dyybe, I looked at the dump file and it said that your graphics driver crashed but did not recover in the allotted time (TDR)

Code:

VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE (116)
Attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout failed.
Arguments:
Arg1: fffffa800c3da2a0, Optional pointer to internal TDR recovery context (TDR_RECOVERY_CONTEXT).
Arg2: fffff88003ecc848, The pointer into responsible device driver module (e.g. owner tag).
Arg3: 0000000000000000, Optional error code (NTSTATUS) of the last failed operation.
Arg4: 0000000000000002, Optional internal context dependent data.

I also saw a lot of errors from WLXTranscoder which I believe is a part of Windows Live Movie Maker. There seems to be several who are having the same problems. If you have any new software about the time this started, please advise me.

You are getting a lot of errors on a file I can find little about Nimi.exe and it comes from a program named Nimi Visuals, if you are familiar with that

Also, do you happen to have any Citrix software installed?

Check and make sure you have the latest version of Direct X How to install the latest version of DirectX

I have seen a couple of reports that if you have a card that only has Direct X 9 and import a MPEG into Windows Movie Maker. Movie Maker will not start or will crash. Your card should support direct X 11 I believe, but checking won't hurt.

The only dump file in the files you uploaded was 022315. The latest error in your MSinfo file was on 3/25/15 and was WXLTranscode which I believe is a Windows Live element.

The files you uploaded today appear to be the same as you uploaded last time. Please make sure your computer is configured for Small Memory Dumps. Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD

here is about all I know we can do to get it to create Minidump files.

Follow these steps:

1. Configure Windows to create minidumps:
Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD

2. Set the paging file on C: to be the same size as the physically installed RAM:
Virtual Memory Paging File - Change

3. Set the Windows Error Reporting service to MANUAL:
Services - Start or Disable
