I still run Windows 7 Pro 64 bit but it says MSI recommend update BIOS only if you are using Windows8. would it still be safe for mine?

They're specific in it, I wouldn't take that risk.

Please uninstall everything of Nvidia using Display Driver Uninstaller and install new drivers from Nvidia. Be sure the clean install box is checked and only install the Graphics driver and the PhysX driver.

ok will do. I also removed all Razor drivers and software.

 

[smv1973]

been over 1 week since removed the Razor mouse I had used with it's drivers and razor software. I also did clean install of the newest graphics. So far no crashes so will keep fingers crossed.

Good to hear

 

[smv1973]

just had a crash. hope will find something in the report.

Is it possible for a browser based flash game to cause BSOD? at the time I had my crash there were other people from the server I play on that also had a BSOD crash.

Please remove the USB network adapter and check MSI for driver updates for the Realtek LAN driver.

here is report from todays crash. hope able to find something. I also did some research on my motherboard and CPU. will post what I found when have a bit more time.

Please follow the instructions from post #2 assuming the data in the dump is correct.
Follow http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/327414-nvidia-drivers-avoid-problems.html to ensure that you only install the necessary drivers.

thank you much and will do.

I did some research on my motherboard & CPU. I found many people that had crashes like mine. the problem they found was insufficient CPU core voltage set in the BIOS. not sure if this something that could be an issue on my computer. 1 person said he solved his issues just by raising the default Voltage up to 1.4V. I have never done anything like that and not even sure if it would help. what are you thoughts?

 

[axe0]

My thoughts are empty when it comes down to a more advanced BIOS than my BIOS (basically everyone has a more advanced BIOS, my BIOS has very limited options).

Lets first check what the voltage is, boot in the BIOS and post some screenshots/photos of the BIOS settings.
I believe what we're looking for is the vcore in the BIOS.

Got a BSOD crash on start up today(that's a first time that has happen). Had gone a few weeks with no troubles till todays crash. hope the attached file will give some clue to the problem. Thank you very much for your time & help.

A 0x4A is commonly caused by Bitdefender, in most cases this is resolved with a repair installation of Bitdefender

[smv1973]

looks like my issue is fixed. thank you very much for all the help. I guess I will be also going to windows 10 pro 64bit before the end of July.

I'm very glad to hear that

I would recommend to create a system backup first before moving on to Windows 10, one that is often used is Macrium Reflect
