BSOD after playing Minecraft

[kylendm]

My computer is a Windows 7 64bit Full Retail version.

I can't tell the age of the hardware but it's all not older than a year I would say. My OS install is about 5 months old.

System Info:
CPU - AMD Phenom II X6 1055T
RAM - 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 @ 666mhz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard - ASUS M4N75TD (AM3)
GPU - 1024MB GeForce GTX 460 (PNY)
Harddrives - 2x Hitachi Sata drives, One 250gb other 1TB

I was playing Minecraft for a bit and then it went to a BSOD. I have the attached files in the zip below. I also notice other games like Grand Theft Auto 4 crashing at random, no BSOD on that though.

Alright I tried to rule out the problem since I added new RAM. I pulled it out and it was a bit stabler. Then again my computer just froze. I attached the dump file.

Are you only running with the old RAM?

 

[kylendm]

Thanks for your help so far. Here's the temps on idle. Other than browsing with firefox that is. And yes, now I'm running with just the old RAM.

 

[writhziden]

Thanks for your help so far. Here's the temps on idle. Other than browsing with firefox that is. And yes, now I'm running with just the old RAM.

That is actually the hardware on your computer that you uploaded. I asked for that so I can check the compatibility of your devices. To check the temps, run HWINFO with sensor-only checked and post your temps during idle and during the tests I linked to.

 

[writhziden]

Mushkin 991782 (996782) DDR3-1600 2x2GB is not listed as being compatible in the memory list provided by your manufacturer. That does not necessarily mean it is not compatible, just that it was not tested by ASUS.

You could try reducing the frequency to the next lowest and see if it provides more stability. Otherwise, contact Mushkin and ask if the RAM you have is supposed to be compatible with your board/CPU.

 

[kylendm]

Weird because I've had that for maybe over a year now with no problems. The HWiNFO64 wont read my CPU temps for some reason.

Both Hard drives run at about 40C.
Graphics Card runs at about 35C on Idle and when running tests it's at about 71C after just a minute.
Motherboard is at about 54C Idle.

 

[writhziden]

Can you get CPU temps with SpeedFan?

 

[kylendm]

It says 41C for CPU and 0C for Core.

 

[writhziden]

What new RAM had you added? Manufacturer, frequency/timing, part number?

Is that CPU temperature idle or under stress (what percentage is being used)?

 

[kylendm]

The new RAM is Crucial 8-8-8-24 BL25664TB1608

 

[writhziden]

If you had the Crucial running with the Mushkin, that may have been part of your instability issues. I'm also a little concerned by the CPU temperature if that is at idle. AMD processors usually like to run in the 40s when being stressed. The max temp for that unit is 62-67 Celsius.

 

[kylendm]

I have one exhaust fan running in the back and two on the side pulling air in. Would it be a good idea to have the top fan exhaust?

 

[writhziden]

I have one exhaust fan running in the back and two on the side pulling air in. Would it be a good idea to have the top fan exhaust?

It would help a little, but most of the time, CPU heating problems are due to the heatsink on the CPU. You may want to pull the heatsink and fan off and reapply the thermal paste (I know that is a bit of a hassle as the fans are easier to put on than remove). See post #78 for how to apply the paste. Give gregrocker props for finding those two awesome videos. Careful as the CPU may still be hot.

Also, follow good ESD practices: Keep grounded, and after shutting down and turning off your computer, remove the power cord from the wall and hold down the power button for 30 seconds to complete the circuit and let any residual power in the computer drain.

 

[kylendm]

Right, alright well thanks for the help. I don't have any paste so I'll have to buy some, hopefully that'll get the computer a bit more stable.

 

[kylendm]

Alright I added the fan and it seems to be working so far. I'm still going to get the paste but now I have another kind of issue. It seems that all my games lock up but my computer doesn't I can ctrl+alt+del out and it'll take a minute for the game to crash after I open task manager but they crash very frequently.

Is it possibly because of the over heating CPU? I don't get a blue screen just the games them selves lock up.

 

[writhziden]

Hard to say what is causing that behavior. Are you monitoring the temperature during play to see what it gets to before it crashes?

 

[kylendm]

No, but I'll do that now.

 

[kylendm]

Alright I had kind of a similar experience again. This time the game froze but after waiting a while it responded. A while being like 5-6 minutes. I was playing minecraft. My CPU got up to 47C and my GPU at 64C. Not sure what Nvidia MCP is but that's at 60C. I feel it might not be related to overheating but I'm not sure.
