BCcode : 7a

Hi,

I've been getting BSOD 7a whilst playing certain games for a while now. I've googled 7a and gone through old posts and tried my hand at finding the problem myself but I can't seem to figure it out.

Here's a list of things I've tried:

• DiskCHk
• Mem test 64+ for 10 hours (Although it was with both sticks of RAM in my pc)
• Updating Drivers
• Uninstalling rarely used applications, games and AVG
• Defrag, SeaTools Long scan and deleting old folders from C drive
• Dusting components and fans
• Re-seating RAM

I've also used TechPowerUp to monitor temperatures of CPU and GFX Card but they looked fine to me. Neither went over 70-80 even when testing on demanding games.

I'll upload my last Dump so someone can take a look!

Thanks in advance,
Bulldoze

Test your HDD using Seatools.

Take both the short test and the long test. Let us know the results.

Okay so I'm reporting back after running fast and long tests with Seatools, both tests results were a pass.

What would you suggest now?

Cheers

The long test on a 1 TB HDD should take much more than 3 hours.

After a BSOD last week I ran the "Fix All - long" option and left it on through the night - pass results

Today I ran short and long generic and they passed.

I'll leave it on Fix All long again tonight I guess in case the first didn't hit the mark

Please wait while your computer restarts.

Just finished another full scan which passed

Okay I'll boot up one of the games that is giving me bsod and report back here with new dumps!

Thanks for the help so for Arc, appreciate your time
