BSOD playing CIV v, also just on the desktop after loadup.

Hi danrobson1,

Please read the forum rules, rule 2: No useless posts, e.g., thread bumping, useless one liners, junk posting to increase post count, and identical multi-postings in different forums.

Also, bumping your thread removes you from the list of unanswered threads, this means everyone will think you are being helped.

2 of the recent crashes are 0xf4

CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION
One of the many processes or threads crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or been terminated. As a result, the system can no longer function. Specific causes are many, and often best resolved by a careful history of the problem and the circumstances of the error message

The other is a 0x7a

KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
A page of kernel data was not found in the pagefile and could not be read into memory. This might be due to incompatible disk or controller drivers, firmware, or hardware.

So, please describe what you are doing with as much details as possible like:
- What you are doing when the problem occurs
- Are there activities on the pc that are more frequently when a crash occurs, for example: 5 crashes where 4 of them occur when playing a game

Alright, for when the crash occurs at boot we need to find out if a 3rd party program is causing it.

Please remove all items from the startup

These programs could interfere with the boot process giving you trouble.

Please do the following:

• Search msconfig and open it
• Go to the tab services
• Check 'hide microsoft services'
• Uncheck all other services
• Click apply and click ok
• Reboot if asked

See if the problem persist, if the problem does not persist enable in the services tab in msconfig 1 service, reboot and see if the problem persist. Keep doing this until you find the culprit or there is nothing left.
