BSOD during Bioshock Infinite, after Windows update and Chrome

[novakheng]

Hi, I've recently built a new comp but I've been experiencing quite a few BSODs. These occurred a few times to date and my desktop is only about 2 weeks old.

I've had a BSOD once when I was playing Bioshock Infinite, once after installing Windows update and more recently, I was uploading a video on Youtube while at the same time surfing the internet when I noticed background programs crashing. I then tried a restart when I got yet again another BSOD.

Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Hi this seems to be the graphics driver.
I would start with this = AMD Driver Autodetect

Thanks for your reply. I tried your link but it says that I already have the latest version.

Uninstall Catalys control manager from your system, and then follow with this

Follow check your manufactorer or mobo site for the correct graphics driver.

Would it be ok to reinstall Catalyst Control Manager after I've done these steps?

 

[Skylais]

Well let's see if it is stable without CCC 1st, and if so then it would be fine to reinstall.

I've done as told. I went to AMD's site to install my graphic drivers but it automatically installs Catalysts Control Manager. Is there any way to scan to see if the system will be stable?

Follow this to see if you get another BSOD

So I installed Daemon Tools Lite and had to restart my comp and I got another BSOD. Any help would be great.

 

[Skylais]

Daemon tools is very very well known to cause BSOD. I would uninstall it, and if you need some type of mounter u could try magicdisc, but it too is a bit known to give bsod's. for now uninstall daemon tools and see if your BSOD's leave.

So after the BSOD from Daemon Tools Lite, I did the Driver Verifier steps. Upon restart however, Windows failed to start and I was directed to System Restore. I now noticed that Daemon Tools Lite is gone from my system. Do I still need to go through the steps from the Driver Verifier link?

 

[Skylais]

Yes very good idea. If any bsod occur after the driver verifier is set, report them here.

 

[novakheng]

For the Driver Verifier, do I check drivers with <unknown> providers?

 

[Skylais]

Um. Yes do that. That is weird though. See how driver verifier plays along

 

[novakheng]

Just got another while using Chrome..

So I ran Verifier after the crash and got 2 "screen tears".

 

[novakheng]

Got another bluescreen when shutting my comp. Could it be a hardware issue?

 

[novakheng]

So turns out it is a RAM issue. One of my RAMs was faulty. I immediately exchanged it and now it is running fine.
