BSOD while playing games of all kinds

[bsodgawwd]

Hello all! First time posting to a forum but I am at completely at a loss.

I have had this comp for more than a few years and have dealt with problems here and there for a bit.
The past couple BSOD's I've had were specifically playing WoW, I've attached the dmp files for the crashes as well as my PC Info. I also play CS:GO and league with infrequent to rare BSOD's.

If I may please have help from the community it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi bsodgawwd,

Welcome to the 7forums.

Please uninstall everything of AMD using Display Driver Uninstaller and install new drivers from AMD

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 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.

Hey axe0,

Thank you for the quick response! In the meantime I ran sfc /scannow, no problems detected, however I also ran Windows Diagnostic Tool Extended and set it to pass 8x-unfortunately it detected an error. I've never encountered this before and this is my first custom pc. Is this something fixable or do I get new RAM? Is there a memory test file that states specifically what is wrong with the memory?

From here, I will test each stick(I have 2 sticks) by itself and see if one or both are bad. Yet to install the drivers from AMD-did any of the logs indicate that the amd drivers are a problem? Just curious because I had just formatted this HDD and reinstalled windows and installed the latest drivers from the AMD website, but if it says so I shall do it again!

I know it is a lot of questions but thank you for you time in advance!

To explain it a little more

Please uninstall everything of AMD using Display Driver Uninstaller and install new drivers from AMD

The atikmdag driver is an AMD video driver.
The atikmpag driver is another AMD video driver, but I didn't see that one.

 

[bsodgawwd]

They are both in the c:\windows\system32\drivers and also in the C:\AMD\AMD-Catalyst-15.7.1-With-DOTNet45-Win7-64bit\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF\B187676

I also made sure the environmental variables under path had both of these locations.

Still awaiting tonight to test the individual sticks-in the meantime, been looking at cheaper sticks on ebay.

 

[bsodgawwd]

Just found the logs for the memtest via windows from testing the one stick last night. 1 did not pass and originally I tested both at once. I am going to test this last stick but I am assuming that 1 is good and one is bad.

What would be the next step?

 

[axe0]

To test each stick in another slot to determine of truly a stick is causing problems or a slot.

 

[bsodgawwd]

Ohhhkay, finally got done with all the testing.

2 sticks. 2 slots:
__________________________________________

Stick 1 Slot A - pass
Stick 2 Slot A - pass

Stick 1 Slot B - pass
Stick 2 Slot B - fail

Slot is bad on mobo? If so, what would be the next step?

Thank you again for all your help!

 

[axe0]

Please clean the sticks and slots properly if necessary, reseat them properly and try running the test again.
These results aren't really clear unfortunately.

 

[bsodgawwd]

Before I started all this I used an air mattress pump to dust the whole pc, including the RAM sticks and slot-figured it would be a lot like blowing into nintendo games in the past.

I'll test the slot again, with each stick and get back to you. Would it help if I sent the details from the System logs?

I am reading around and it seems like a new mobo is in order. Wish it were more modular but hey better than console to game.

 

[axe0]

The memory and slots can't be (properly) cleaned with air compressed spray, you would have to clean the memory with rubbing alcohol and a q-tip. For the slots I refer to the posts of ICIT2LOL, because I like his explanation for it

I can't quote it, because you wouldn't see the important picture.

 

[bsodgawwd]

Ok! I'll try that and test it tonight. Thank you again for your help!
