Solved BSOD after 1-5 minutes ingame

[sithlordvader]

Recently, i started to get BSOD after maximum 5 minutes of gameplay (any installed game). Tried updating every driver, the bios, ran memtest86 with no errors, cleaned registry. I cannot upload my last dump file because its format is "invalid", please teach me how to convert it into an acceptable format. If there is someone who can tell me the reason(s) behind all this, i give him my thanks in advance! (sorry for my bad english, i tried my best)

i still don't have any idea what the problem is. (thanks for the link)
made a clean video driver install.
ran several gpu stress tests.
ran malwarebytes scan.
windows repair sees no problem.
is there a certain method to find out if my GPU is physically damaged? something that can tell me "your graphics card is faulty" so i can go tomorrow to a specialized service.

Have you tweaked the settings of your game?

You might want to set to default and see if that helps.

i play my games on default or lower and almost always make resolution lower

PS: Daemon Tools

[FONT="Verdana"]Start Menu\Programs\DAEMON Tools Lite	Public:Start Menu\Programs\DAEMON Tools Lite	Public[/FONT]

Please uninstall DAEMON Tools. It uses a driver called sptd.sys which is known to cause BSODs in Windows 7. Uninstall the software using Add/Remove Programs. Reboot the system. Once the program is uninstalled, run sptd.sys uninstaller to remove the driver from your system.

As an alternative, many people recommend the use of Total Mounter or Magic ISO

UPDATE:sorry for my arrogance! i lowered even more the settings and it looked stable, after that, i reseted to default. game crashed after 15 seconds of gameplay. i will still do as you say in your last reply. hope i will get rid of this nasty situation. thanks for helping!

No problem.
Keep us posted

 

[sithlordvader]

last time i installed sp1, my wireless connection wouldn't work. is that problem solved?

 

[koolkat77]

What antivirus do you use?

 

[sithlordvader]

i do not use antiviruses because... i am a lazy person, i guess (also a bit stupid, but i can live with that), just made a full scan with malwarebytes. anyway
PROBLEM SOLVED!!!
thank you very much for your moral support!
the final solution in my case was to underclock my GPU (i used MSI Afterburner).
there is no more problem now.
if it keeps so for 2-3 days, i shall mark this post as solved.
//i will keep the changes, for one can never be too sure)

 

[koolkat77]

I see. Thanks for the update.

Keep the thread open for 1 week.

Good luck.
