This dump looks like you were playing AION and the video driver crashed killing dxgmms1.sys.. Since its Wow I assume the game is 32bit. It looks like the video driver is the probable cause.

Remedies. check and re-install the vid driver if necessary. Heat a possible issue?

Run sfc /scannow to verify the system files. Run Memetest on the memory.

Hope this helps

Thanks a lot for the super quick reply,

just found out that one of my fan wasn't working but the GPU was at around 70 C is it too much?

And I know how to run the mem test but I dont know what is a sfc / scannow

I dont even know what computer you have. You can find out by going to the vdei card maker for it and the computer maker for that. 70C is pretty warm. If the BSOD's stop now that the other fan is running that was the culprit. If not and you get another one post it and someone will track it down

Did memtest say what problem? Are you overclocing? running a raid? anything unusual like finger print readers, external USB drives, etc

How long did it take memtest to report an error?

I'm not overclocking, it didn'y say what problem : on reboot it said ''your computer as a memory problem'' I'm not running a raid, no external drive, just a display mouse and keyboard.

the memtest reported a problem in the second phase of the test.

Great

Im actually glad you did. since it was done within windows there might be some log entries in event viewer. can you go into event viewer windows log>application tab, them system tab. See if there are any listings about the memory test.

If there isnt anything in event viewer you may want to try pulling all but 2 gigs of ram and re-running the test.

The dump did look like memory but it was too ambiguous to tell. Im not certain about voltage settings in quad cores so I have to pass that to someone who knows but sometimes a slight voltage tweak settle the instability down. Dont know

Now comes the hard part. testing until you isolate the individual component.

Ok so we know you have a memory problem. might just be voltage. I am out of my element here. You can check what the voltages currently are but someone with some overclocking/unvolting can help you more. In the mean time since you have 8 gigs pull 4 and mem test. if ok swap the other 4 gigs into the same slots you just used for test 1. repeat untill you have tested all 8 gigs let us know the results

When I was taught to test memory I was told to test it 1 stick at a time. Why because if you run 2 sticks and it creates errors then you still won't know which stick it is. So I reccommend 1 stick at a time run the test several times |MG| Memtest86 3.5 Download I would also reccomend that you run CPUid to verify that your running the same sticks not so much as manufacturer but timings and voltages CPUID. If purchased at different times and not in sets. Fabe

It appears that there's a problem with your memory.
Some memory tests test more than just the RAM.
If this is the case with yours, then I'd have to wonder about damage to the VRAM on your video card because of possible overheating due to the inoperative fan.
