    dxgmms1.sys BSOD - Left 4 Dead 2


    Hi!

    I recently upgraded to Windows 7 x32 from Windows XP x32
    I've had the same BSOD three times now, fairly regularly, but also random

    All three times it happened while playing Left 4 Dead 2.
    The thing is I can't recreate it, it started about 2 months ago, but I ignored it and just let it do it's thing, but a week and a half ago it really got to me so I formatted my CPU, I assumed this would stop it... needless to say it hasn't. I don't know what it is

    If it means anything... I did originally install 64Bit windows 7 on the first day it came out but my computer didn't handle it too well so I dropped down to 32Bit.

    I will try literally anything because this really is beginning to bug me.

    My computer spec:
    Motherboard: Winfast
    CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+
    GFX: Radeon X1600 Seroes
    RAM: 2x 1024 MB

    Any help to stop me from getting further BSODs would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if there's any more information I need to provide to help with the troubleshooting.

    Thanks in advance.

    4 memory dumps - STOP 0x19; STOP 0xD1; STOP 0x10E; STOP 0x8E
    2 blamed on dxgmms1.sys; 2 are unknown

    Can't really tell what's going on here, the Windows Debugging Tools aren't able to access symbols for your operating system files (in particular NTOSKRNL.EXE/NTKRNLMP.EXE/NTKRNLPA.EXE) from the Microsoft Symbol Server - so that makes debugging them difficult if not impossible.

    Please do the following:
    - activate/validate the Windows installation at Genuine Microsoft Software
    - run sfc.exe /scannow to replace any problem files
    - If that doesn't fix it, then wipe the hard drive and reinstall Windows
    - don't use "leaked"/torrent builds

    Did the validation
    How do i do a sfc?
    I've wiped the hard drive previously
    and i refuse to use torrents etc.

    My brother has a PC that is identical to mine in every way that is less than 15 metres away from me, yet he is working perfectly. please i need a fix?

    & i assume when you say wipe the hard drive you mean format but windows 7 doesn't seem to allow you to do a full format as it keeps the old files.

    The only difference between mine and my brothers PC is that he didn't install 64 bit to start with
