Getting BSOD almost every day now

[Jmvars]

When i first purchased the computer it worked fine for maybe 1 week - 4 weeks, then i got the first BSOD. I thought it was just gonna happen one time so i didnt really pay attention to it. Then i asked my mate who has the EXACT same PC as me if he had any BSOD's, he said he had 3 so far.

After that i started getting them more and more often, at the end it was one BSOD every day, and i googled for solution but didnt really find any that actually worked, i tried everything.

Then i kinda panicked and reinstalled Windows 7, after install and a few restarts i got a BSOD... But after i updated drivers etc. it seemed like it was fixed. I got a BSOD a week after, and had 2 more after it.

System specs:

Bought it in a norwegian site, komplett.no

System Manufacturer: MICRO STAR INTERNATIONAL

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 640 Processor, 3000 Mhz, 4 core(s)

Motherboard: MS-7597

RAM: 4 GB

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 768MB 715 Mhz

Sound Driver: Realtek HD Audio Driver, and 4 High Definition Audio Drivers

Resolution: 1920x1080 60hz

HDD: WD Caviar Green 1TB 7200RPM... something like that.



The PC isnt old either, a few months.

Dump attached, please help me

The problem is that it didnt leave any dump files, i thought the program this forum told me to download would help, didnt understand anything, it just said "1 file(s) copied" so i assumed it had found something and just uploaded it all here. If i get a new BSOD, wich is very likely, ill upload the dump from that.

Sorry for bad english, im from Norway

Your English is fine and let us know if/when you get a bsod.

Since my last post, a thing i didnt tell you is that i entered my BIOS and turned of all power saving, and havent had a BSOD for a few days now, so it MIGHT be fixed. Im not completely sure.

 

[Jmvars]

Sorry for always BUMP'ing this thread, but during a match of Heroes of Newerth recently, i kept freezing for 2 - 4 seconds maybe every 1 - 2 minutes. I was constantly afraid i was gonna get BSOD again, and also had a small hope so i can get the dump, but i never got one.

Also i heard a beep after the first freeze, does that mean something?

EDIT: I found out It's the game, sorry for not checking before posting

 

[Jmvars]

There, it happened again, after a week, almost 2 weeks. But it wasn't a BSOD, but a hard freeze, i had to press the power button for 4 seconds.

Also i recently used CCleaner to clean my HDD, can that affect anything?

As i said, it lasted WAAAY longer than before, but again, it didnt leave a minidump, even i followed zigzag3143's advice, it still didnt leave any dumps.

Just checking.... Wat lasted waaay longer? The freeze or the file gathering of Griff's stuff? Still there should be stuff to upload even if there is no dmp file...

Try the harddrive in another pc, if the problem is solved then its your pc having the BSOD s.

Oh, forgot about that, i meant that the PC "lasted" way longer. There was a longer time between the last freeze.

I dont have a PC available to try the harddrive on.

Another quick check... could you be more specific on when these freezes happen? Is it ONLY at gaming?
Have you checked if the inside of your PC isn't dusty so the fans, specifically the one for the videocard aren't working well? have you/are you able to check the temperatures on your system?

If you need any help on these questions, please post back, we'll lead you through it, step by step.

Most of them happen when gaming, but it can happen if i have multiple windows open, like listening to music while logged on to Steam, MSN, Skype etc.

This last time it happened when i was chatting with someone in MSN, and i changed music, then tried to open firefox, it completely froze, but im pretty sure my CPU can handle that.

I've also turned off my CPU Phase Mode since last time, cos I heard it would help.

I have checked the inside of the PC a few weeks back, it was a tiny bit of dust, not so much it would affect anything.

And yes, I am able to check temperatures on my system, at summer it's usually around 30 - 35 Celcius when surfing and listening to music etc. Never seen it over 50 even during gaming. At winter it stays at 27 Celcius most of the time.

To be entirely sure: do you also check your GPU temp's and not only CPU?

Never checked my GPU's temp while playing, but while just surfing and listening to music etc, it should be the almost the same as the CPU, around 32 - 37 Celcius.
Right now its 35, so its fine.

 

[Jmvars]

My GPU temp only gets to 57 - 58 at max.

 

[MvdB]

My GPU temp only gets to 57 - 58 at max.

Thats not a problem then.... You don't overclock, do you?

No i don't, and again, it seems fixed, i turned off CPU phase mode as it might fix it for some ppl. So again, well see. ^^

Ok... Keeping fingers crossed...
