BSOD while playing DOMO and even simple browser games (Error 124)
Hi
I've had this computer for a year and a half now. It's been running fine until December. I got a virus because of my younger sibling but I was able to solve that issue. Even bought a new AV and everything was running smoothly. But some weeks later (maybe a month), I had wifi issues. My computer would have an X over the wifi icon on the start bar and said that there were no connections? When in fact there were plenty of connections as my phone and my mom's netbook connected fine.
I just restarted the comp and it would solve the issue occasionally but then restarting my computer stopped working completely. I took it to Office Depot (had no other choice) and they said my computer had many issues with it but to solve that one, I just need to reinstall the driver. If I allowed them to fix everything, it would have cost $299, something I can't pull out at the moment.
So I took their advice and did my best. Honestly, I think I downloaded the correct driver but now I'm having doubts. It worked afterwards and stopped working a few times until it worked completely. I cleaned my comp out, researched errors, etc. Then last month, I had another issue. While playing Dream of Mirrors Online, my whole computer froze and a high buzzing sound was heard. But this only happened if the volume was on.
My laptop isn't overheating, I think. I checked the temps with Coretemp as recommended by another and it was 40 C while idle and 63 C was the highest it got while playing DOMO. I have played heavier games in the past without any issues.
So, back to the wifi problem. When it froze, it came back for a few seconds. I was able to exit out of my game. The wifi stopped working like it did before and then it completely froze again and then the BSOD came up, saying there was uncorrectable hardware error.
I dunno what's the problem but I'm hoping it's something I can fix on my own as I don't have the money to make someone else do it. Does anyone know what might be wrong? Here's my question on another forum so that you can get the Error Viewer and other information I have on there, including the photo of the blue screen. I had a blue screen a long time ago too and may still have the photo.
