Bsod help, unexperienced with pc, huge gamer

[Phenrik]

Hi i am having severe problems with bluescreens all over the place.
I dont know much about theese things so it can be extra hard trying to help me coz i dont know alot.
I have followed some help things, to get things needed and downloaded a bluescreen wiever.

When its just windows, and internet i dont get any errors but as soon as i play a game, even hard games like: call of duty, or somewhat easy game like tigerwoodsonline i get blue screen. Ofc i assume it is drivers that bugs out since it only is when playing games or using graphics in general.

I bought a nvidia geforce gt 240 card from retail store and havent really felt i have had a single good driver. Started as i ran windows 7 64 bit, could only find beta drivers and then u know its not very good.

Tried installing a windows 7 32 bit just to check if i couldnt use w7 but both are equally when it comes to bsod.

As i mentioned before i have bluescreen viewer but am not totally sure how to add it here ill give it a go ok.

here goes nothing:

Not sure if what i did was allowed in this forum, so sorry if i did something wrong. wont do it again unless i am told to..

In advance i thank u both for the help, and time used. Again i am not good with theese things so u might have to feed it to me with a silver spoon.

PS. when i set the blue screen wiever to xp style, it says following on the 8 bluescreens i have had since 20th this month:

The problems seems to be this file : Halmacpi.dll on 7 of the 8
and one seems to be the file: ntkrnlpa.exe

so the three things that comes up in the advanced mode is : halmacpi.dll amdk8.sys and ntkrnlpa.exe

Hi and Welcome

Can you please upload your minidump file?
http://www.sevenforums.com/crash-lockup-debug-how/34900-1-novice-how-ask-help-bsod-problem.html

 

[Phenrik]

its all 8 of them there. almost the same on them, again thanks

 

[ttran]

Hi I'm back
I'm guessing this is just device drivers issues
There are 2 things here that I want you to do. First of all, the minidump point to amdk8.sys, which is AMD cpu driver, please download and re-install it
Secondly, you have ASACPI.sys , which is Asus ATK0110 ACPI Utility (a known BSOD maker). Also a part of the Asus PCProbe and AISuite Utilities. Please update them, it's pretty out of date

All of your .dmp files show amdk8.sys ( amd cool and quiet driver ) as the faulting module... Go to AMDs' website and download the latest version...

PS: I'm not wiz, I'm learning everyday

 

[Phenrik]

Thanks Tuan really thanks, and yeah i can remember it downloaded a cool and quiet thing

 

[Phenrik]

On the cool and quiet thing it says that its a default and does not require any updates, how can i then erase it ?

Acapi thingy i searhed the site and found a seemingly useful thing wher it finds what i need, except clicking on the download button, and go it does nothing. hmm

feel kinda stupid here, amungst geniouses.

Don't. That is what we are here for - to help folks.

 

[Phenrik]

Awsome guys.
Pulling ur legs somewhat, youre help has been awsome.

Small update:

The asus asapi i think is installed it takes less then a second, but it came in i think.

The cool and quiet from amd, downloaded several from that search and none seemed to work. I couldnt find any one of them to support w7 and perhaps that is a problem itself.
the asapi work i would believe

perhaps i have to restart comp enter bios and check off cool n quiet?

If they have one for Vista, you can use that in http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/316-compatibility-mode.html?ltr=C

Aye i see that m8, hehe. But u know i cant help pin it on me. Coz ive sitted infront of a computer my whole life, hehe. These are what u can call advanced errors, ofc i will learn from this aswell. So there for thank u.

I am helping my m8ts with easi install ments upgrades etc. I just feel terrible when a m8 of mine sits next to me, playing on his new computer wich i fixed for him, not having a single problem all runs smoothly hehe, and then i am sitting here with a shit load of problems.

Is there a stress test or something like that i can use to see if the computer works after youre ideas, and help? while i watch soccer go england

 

[ttran]

Stress test: humm...I dunno:sarc: sorry there are so many
England is gonna win, now is 1-0....Cheer!!!
Let us know how things go

I like Rooney and Lampart.....gooooooooo england

 

[Phenrik]

Yes i do that too, roon and lampard are great, like gerrard aswell tho the captain, but would much rather see becks back as captain too bad he was injured

Anyways. doesnt seem like anything is fiksed

here is the new minidump entered as i played to provoke the bsod to enter, and as predicted as it is it showed hehe.

 

[ttran]

Hi there
Please update this driver, I just noticed this:

nvm62x32 nvm62x32.sys Sat Oct 18 04:00:39 2008 (48F8FCF7)

it is nVidia Ethernet Networking Driver (nForce chipset driver)
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx

Also, this one too, I think it is AMD Dual Core Optimizer

AmdLLD   AmdLLD.sys   Sat Jun 30 02:47:32 2007 (468561D4)

Can you update those two drivers please?

~Tuan (It was too bad that Beck cant play, I like him too, his free kick is perfect in mm)
