    BSOD when playing 3D games


    I get some BSODs when I play games like World of Tanks, League of Legends, Skyrim, etc. IRQL_Not_Less_or_Equal, Driver_IRQL_Not_Less_or_Equal, System_Service_Exception, Bad_Pool_Header.

    Things I've tried:

    Replaced RAM, Put more fans to prevent overheating, reinstalled windows 7, checked connections inside computer.

    Any help would be appreciated. :)

    Hi jsnarch,

    Welcome to the 7forums :)

    The only problem I see is an improper seating of the memory
    Make sure the memory is seated in the same colored slots.

    If the other colored slots don't help either, I suggest that you try a memory test per below instructions.




    Diagnostic Test

     RAM TEST


    Run MemTest86+ to analyse your RAM. MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 7 Forums

       Note


    MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 complete passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.

    Addition:
    If errors show up you can stop the test, remove all sticks but 1 and test this single stick in each slot for 8 passes or until errors show, switch sticks and repeat.
    If errors show up and you see them a lot later, no problem, the errors don't affect the test.

    So I switched the RAM sticks to the grey slots and I was able to play a game. A few minutes after I quit the game, I got a different BSOD.

    It said, "An attempt was made to write to read-only memory." 0x000000BE (0xFFFFF8A00E855412, 0x5A400001F37A8121, 0xFFFFF88006D124B0, 0x000000000000000B)

    For some reason, I can't find the crash on BlueScreenView.

    If you know anything about the BSOD I just described, let me know. I am hoping this RAM is not bad because I just bought it a week ago. I thought my other RAM was bad.

    Upload the dump from either %systemroot% or %systemroot%\minidump for analysis, it has 2 possibilities
    1. driver writes to an improper memory address
    2. a part of the memory is basically bad

    I don't see a 0xBE coming back in the dumps, in the logs there is also nothing present about a 0xBE crash.
    Anyway, seeing the NTFS + 0x1A it may be time to check in with the hard drive.

    If the short generic fails, no need for the long generic.

    Do not run SeaTools on an SSD as the results will be invalid.

    Alright, thank you very much for so far. I really appreciate it.

    By the way, I found another .dmp file in C\Windows. It is called MEMORY.dmp, it's too big to upload. 180MB

    There is no need to upload it anymore :)
    I wanted to have a look at it for the 0xBE crash if there wasn't a minidump, but with the normal settings it is already overwritten.
